There's still time to help a Light Mother fight child hunger

Dear Friend,

I recently emailed you to introduce you to Claudine, an amazing mother from the Mwaro province, Burundi who is volunteering her time to share life-saving skills and knowledge with other mothers in her community.  

There is still time to donate today to help support Light Mothers like Claudine fight child hunger.

Burundi is one of the hungriest countries in the world. And with the climate crisis worsening, it's becoming increasingly difficult for families to feed their children. That's where Mamans Lumières, or Light Mothers, like Claudine (pictured) and your support come in. 

"Over the years, many of my neighbors have lost their crops to extreme weather. Poor soil quality made worse by the climate crisis means that families are struggling to grow enough to eat. I have seen the devastating impact this has had on children, with many of them malnourished. As a mother, this is especially hard for me to witness.”

A gift from you today could help support Light Mothers like Claudine to share sustainable farming techniques with other mothers so that they can set up their own kitchen gardens and grow vegetables all year round.

Additional training in good nutrition means communities can prevent child malnutrition and save lives. 

Give a specialist Light Mother kit

Give a Light Mother kit including leaflets, a thermometer, and a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) band, to support other mothers and their children.

Train a Light Mother

Train a Light Mother so that they can pass on life-saving skills, knowledge, and advice to other mothers such as how to grow plenty of food and how to fight child malnutrition.

Create healthy and happy homes

Support a Light Mother to train other families in good sanitation and hygiene practises at home, helping to create happy and healthy homes.

Thank you for creating lasting and impactful change for the community where I work in rural Burundi.

With best wishes,

Ladislas Barakamfitiye
