Health centers provide more than just health services: they are also the epicenter for community engagement and nutritional trainings. In conjunction with district-based agricultural specialists and health advisors, RW is overseeing the mapping, purchase, planting, and maintenance of local grafted, fast-growing fruit trees outside of health centers. The vitamin-rich mangoes, avocadoes, oranges, pomegranates and pineapples reaped from this project will be used for health center-based nutrition programming and to improve patient nutrition. In a country rampant with malnutrition but burgeoning with agricultural potential, fruit tree orchards at health centers provide a long-lasting contribution to community health.
