The Mansaray Foundation and FAIECY-SL Co-Founder Meet with Youth Farmers to Improve Nutrition in Sierra Leone

The Mansaray Foundation and Michael Nabieu, Co-Founder and Head of Programs for Forum For Agriculture, Innovation, and Empowerment for Children and Youth in Sierra Leone (FAIECY-SL) recently met with a cross-section of youth farmers to discuss ways to increase and diversify their produce. The goal is to support the foundation’s feeding program for pregnant, lactating women, and children under 5 years old. The feeding program has already improved the nutritional status of pregnant women, resulting in healthy gestational weights for their babies.

According to the foundation, there have been over 1000 cases of severe malnutrition in the district they operate in over the last 10 months. The foundation is committed to providing community-level, high-impact interventions to address this nutritionally vulnerable group. They are seeking unwavering support from the public to continue this initiative.
