Mongu save a life center

At Save A Life Centre in Mongu we carry out training for mothers and guardians of malnourished children. The training is to equip and empower families to earn an income and provide basic needs for their families. This picture is of one of the mothers who has chosen to buy and sell cooking oil in order to generate some income for her family. This is an aspect of the project that is encouraged so that children do not fall back into malnourishment once they are discharged from Save A Life.
