ADRA’s USAID Title II Food Security programs focus on this window of opportunity through integrated maternal and child health and nutrition strategies and interventions. Maternal and infant immunization in the first 1,000 days of life is also crucial to their protection.

mothers and children
Changing and saving lives…
“My husband and I were
continually in disagreement on the
way to space our children. These
very tight birth intervals almost led
to the death of my child in this
photo. This child was enrolled into
the food rations program and I
participated in nutrition and health
trainings. Thanks to JENGA II I have
in my arms a new baby of one year
and four months without
pregnancy.”

10. Better diets through gardening
• "I have been sensitized by the leader
mothers. JENGA II gave me seeds and
training on gardening techniques. At
first I doubted and thought it was too
hard. I did not know that this would
help me to have vegetables for my
family and surplus for sale. ” I get a
profit of more than 20 000 FC after
selling the surplus. ” Ms. Collectte
said,
• Collette Selemani is one of the 2,664
LMs that benefited from the
Homestead garden established by
JENGA II

11. Women with increased control of
household resources
“I am proud of my status in my
Household, I feel like a real mother”
“I am married and have 7 children.
I bake to generate income to sustain
my family subsistence. In each cycle I
am able to buy all the supplies
needed and after sales I can get
more than 50,000 Fc as profit. Its
helping me to provide school fees for
my 5 school-age children. This is
also helping me to provide an
appropriate diet for my children.
Now I plan to rehabilitate my house.”

pregnant women to antenatal consultations

“ Even though I have no school qualification,
now I know how to make soap and that was
my dream! With this soap and the knowledge
from the trainings, we keep ourselves and
our children clean”
