Nutrition

The World Health Organization credits good nutrition with being a vital key to the health of children living with HIV/AIDS. In combination with the antiretroviral therapy, nutrition strengthens the body's natural immune system. Due to the aggressive nature of ARV's, children's bodies require healthy, well-balanced and highly nutritious meals to support the drug regime.

Because of Akaloosa Organic Farm, our children are not exposed to unneccessary chemicals and additives and are sustained by a purely organic diet. Every Cherish Mother is trained to prepare menus that incorporate a variety of proteins, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables and dairy products to maintain healthy bodies and happy tummies.
