Aisha Umar counsels pregnant women and new mothers at the UNICEF-supported Maisandari Primary Healthcare Centre in Damaturu, north-east #Nigeria. She keeps small quantities of rice, fish, moringa leaves, beans and other foods in her corner at the centre.
“It gives me the opportunity to show them locally available but nutrient dense foods that help prevent child malnutrition. I usually tell them that it is important to cook the foods till very soft and mash it into a paste before feeding them to children. Above all, I tell them to wash their hands before preparing the food and keep cooking utensils clean,’’ she said.
Thanks to @eu_echo for supporting vulnerable children in north-east #Nigeria!
