NSA Agriculture Model Village

Shege, a mother of seven who is seven-months pregnant with her eighth child, is among the members of Nutrition Sensitive Agriculture (NSA) model village families in the Oromia Region. She took advantage of NSA initiatives that allowed her to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, chickens, and shoats in her backyard. Shage had spent her entire life trying to provide for her family the best she could. With few resources at her disposal and limited knowledge about food and nutrition and child feeding practice, it was not simple for her to ensure that all of her children grew up healthy and well-nourished. She can now sleep peacefully because her home now offers good nourishment and health advice with full awareness.
