Mme Ketheline (school secretary) and Dr. Manouschka have teamed up to expand and improve our protein program. During the school year Mme Ketheline gives out peanut butter at recess to the students showing signs of kwashiorkor, protein deficiency, the most common type of malnutrition seen. With inflation and food shortages, many children have been impacted and are showing signs of kwashiorkor. 

The nutrition center gives out and provides a good meal of rice, beans, and vegetable mixture, but many kids need an extra boost of protein. We created a nutrition clinic and we have seen great results with giving a spoonful of peanut butter to children who need it. Future plans for expansion of the clinic and teaching hospital include a laboratory, OBGYN services, orthopedic, dental, eye clinic, and surgery.
