Summary

[edit]
Description

Pauline Velo, president of one of the community nutrition 'cells' in Masi Manimba, shows off the community's new chicken coup. Keeping a flock of chickens to lay eggs for the community to eat and sell - rather than just cooking and eating the chickens - is one of the simple ideas that the community has adopted with the help of Action Against Hunger and UK aid.

Pauline Velo is a community volunteer who, with the help of UK aid, was trained in healthy nutrition techniques by Action Against Hunger. She now passes on her training to families in the town of Masi Manimba, in western DR Congo's Bandundu Province.

Background

Acute malnutrition is a major public health problem across the Democratic Republic of Congo. UK aid has supported the government of DRC and aid agencies including Action Against Hunger to provide emergency nutrition response programmes across DRC in 2010 and 2011.

In some areas, the communities have taken the ideas that Action Against Hunger brought to them, and organised themselves to tackle malnutrition from the ground up - by forming their own co-operative farms and self-support groups.
