Child Nutrition Project
GRA is about to embark on the Ghudames Child Nutrition Project, through the village health workers and Family Development and Samaritan Foundation. They will be taught how to treat and inform pregnant women. Women will learn how to better care for young children's physical needs. They will learn about balanced nutrition and the basics about their reproductive health. Responding to these needs is so important.

Not only will you be helping to save and change lives, your gift will also improve family's long-term health and education especially the children that struggles from birth and face several disadvantages.
GRA will provide a course to teenage girls to explain HIV transmission. Since many girls and women are illiterate, instruction about how the HIV virus is transmitted is critical information. Also women and girls do care for those who are ill in their own extended families and as volunteers within their community, hence information about protection is a pivotal step to prevention in the fight against AIDS.

Your gift will also help young girls and women to learn to read and write. A portion of your gift will also help to create a saving and loan group to help women earn an income, better save for their families' needs and provide for their children's nutritional needs. If you feel God leading you to become a financial partner with GRA, then we are eager to welcome you.

By supporting you are laying up treasures for yourself in heaven.
