Nutrition of PLWHA (6)
?----------------------------------- 


You are so right. If the information base is inadequate at the grass root,
the rest is intellectual exercise!!!

World Relief has a Nutritional Information outreach model in Mozambique
named CARE Groups. We adopted this model in our mobilization efforts around OVC issues in the communities. Information is fundamental in people and families decision making abilities and capabilities. People need to be well informed on a lot of issues such as what a balanced meal is, the importance of it, what available food can be used, how it can be supplemented, etc.
Our experience is that due to the low levels of the 'knowledge base' of
families and individuals, they make bad, uninformed decisions that could
even be detrimental to them and their health
