Nutrition Improved: Check

Richmond is the son of a pastor of a local church in the Wellington municipality. This smart and promising boy lives with his father, mother and two sisters in a two-bedroom block house with no running water and no electricity. Richmond’s father pastors a congregation of 40 members, most of whom are unemployed. His mother is a petty trader.  With their total monthly income of $110, they are unable to make ends meet.

After school each day, Richmond spends most of his time in an after-school program or playing soccer.  Richmond depends on a locally made kerosene lamp when studying at night and sleeps on a savanna (grass) bed with his brother and two sisters.  Richmond wants to be an accountant when he grows up.

Because of the meager family income, the family meals have not been nutritionally balanced or complete.  They were grateful for the nutritional supplements.  The local nurse showed Richmond how to take the liquid  supplements.

Thanks Digvijay for providing these supplements that are complementing Richmond’s diet and giving him the supplements his growing body needs.
