E-Pap
For children and caregivers who are malnourished or HIV positive, we provide an e-Pap meal. E-Pap is a pre-cooked, fortified food that delivers 28 nutrients in a form that the body can absorb.
Sustainability
We grow organic vegetables at each of our Family Care Centres with the goal of providing enough food for the kitchens throughout the year.
We harvest rain water from the roofs of our centres for use in our kitchens and for watering the vegetable gardens. This water is treated on a regular basis to make it fit for human consumption.
