WE VALUE COMMUNITY AND CELEBRATION (fb)

It’s important our students get the nutrition they need to continue learning and growing which is what started our initiative BONE SOUP. Bone Soup was born out of a time of tragedy. Towards the end of the Ebola epidemic in 2015, students were allowed back to school after a 9 month hiatus and a debilitating byproduct of the epidemics lockdowns was food insecurity. Without communal markets and and electricity to store and freeze food, children and their parents were starving. Although our children were thrilled to be back at school, they were listless and unable to focus. Together, we came up with the idea of making bone broth using would-be discarded bones front the local butcher, and adding nutrient dense moringa, tomato, onions, and sweet potato. This created a highly nutritious signature soup that fed not only 250 students and 400 community members, but also received an unexpected gift of healing. We have countless accounts of the elimination of back pains, chest pains, many body ailments. A child in our village with sickle cell anemia was free from pain for the first time. This is our miracle soup in our village and is the staple lunch for our students every school day. 🪷 #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #womenempowerment #womenownedbusiness #womenowned (fb)
