Training Locals to Identify and Respond to Future Cases of Child Malnutrition

Last week, we began training our “community health agents” in Mabriole as a part of our malnutrition project. These 10 Mabriole locals are learning from Nurse Nathalie and Dr. Bien-Aimé how to identify cases of malnutrition in the future, and at what point children should be referred to a specialist.

This training of community health agents is an integral part of our malnutrition project; focused on sustaining the health of children in Mabriole long after our program has concluded. Because of our staff and our great partnership with Heart to Heart International - Haiti, 15 children have already reached healthy status and have completed their time in this program!
