11 June - Health - Philani nutritional programme
In today's show, we
spoke to Dr Ingrid le Roux - From Philani nutritional programme. We were
talking about malnutrition amongst our children in South
Africa . Today marks
Day of the African child and therefore we were discussing and highlighting
malnutrition since it’s estimated that one out of every three African children
especially in the southern part of the continent in countries such as Zimbabwe,
Zambia and Malawi suffer from it. Philani runs five Nutrition Centres in Khayelitsha
(Site C, Site B and Mayibuye), Brown's Farm and Crossroads with each centre
managed by a Nutrition Advisor and in addition a Dietician works across the
Centres to train staff, advise mothers and oversee the menus for meals provided
for our Educare children. For further information you can
