Food & Nutrition Security

Many families of patients are poor and some live up to 3.5 hours away from CHUB.  As a result, the patients of these families are unable to access food that is essential to their healing.  These are the families that can qualify to receive meals from KU.  

Our beneficiaries receive healthy, well-balanced meals twice each day.  We provide breakfast consisting of a sosoma porridge made from soy, sorghum, and maize powder and milk every morning.  In the afternoon, we serve our beneficiaries lunch consisting of a starch, beans, vegetables, mushrooms, dried fish, avocado or banana, and an egg. The two meals we provide per day meet or exceed the recommended daily amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and magnesium for our most nutrient-needy patients.
