Nutritional education for young mothers The nutritional education project for young mothers in the Région du Centre in Burkina Faso aims to improve the food and nutritional education for vulnerable mothers in rural areas. More specifically, it aims at helping pregnant and lactating women and vulnerable children aged between 0 and 5 years. It has helped to increase the food and nutritional consumption of agricultural households through the implementation of nutrition education activities, the use of non-timber forest products and the production of fortified flour. Furthermore, the activities focused on raising awareness and improving the skills of young mothers. In addition to increasing their knowledge, they have also enhanced their families’ income through income-generating activities, focusing on the processing of local agricultural products for their own consumption and and on generating revenues through the sale of these products.
