SCHOOL GARDENS BOOST NUTRITION IN GUINEA-BISSAU

Children growing up in Guinea-Bissau face difficult odds. A third of under-5’s suffer from moderate to severe stunting and 19 % are under-weight. More than 1 in 10 die before reaching the age of 5. But 25,000 children like these are getting better nutrition through an MDG-F programme to educate youngsters about healthy eating by teaching them to cultivate school gardens.
