Transform A Life

 poor education on the topic of nutrition has created numerous Public Health Concerns such as diabetes, chronic heart disease, vitamin A deficiency, undernourishment and PEM. These issues not only stem from poverty, but also from poor nutritional awareness. Even simple values such as the dangers associated with heightened sugar, salt and fat content are not appreciated by all Ghanaian communities.

 

One of the highest risk groups are preschool children, aged between 3 – 6 years old, who often miss their growth spurts as a direct result of undernourishment. To this end, members and officials for the TALF has spent the previous months deciding on developing 6 month supplementary feeding projects for preschool children which are paired with projects designed to raise nutritional awareness in their mothers.
