“I am sure if I was not with Ripple Effect I could have lost other children because the small one who died, that was because of malnutrition.”

Mother and Child project: the facts

*How we get to 78,500

We supported 4,800 families, or 23,000 people, through an intensive face-to-face training programme.

In addition to this, a further 11,576 families, or 55,500 people, engaged with the project through radio broadcasts, community volunteer support and copying new techniques adopted by participants from the main training programme.

This brings the total figure to a whopping 78,500 people. All thanks to you!
