Starving women and young children in Turkana County have received a boost after Monsanto Fund and Africare pledged $5 million (Sh500 million) over a five-year period to help improve nutrition.
Washington-based Africare hopes their partnership with Monsanto on the new improved approach to community-based nutrition in Turkana (Impact) project, will lead to increased access to proper food for pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children.
