Phionah Nizeyimana

Three-year-old Phionah and her sibling live with their mother and grandparents. Her mother has a mental disability and contracted HIV while bartering sex for food.

Phionah benefitted from Kageno’s Malnourished Feeding Program as an infant. To help correct malnutrition in her home, Kageno trained the family to plant sack gardens to grow vegetables, and provides them with uncooked SOSOMA.

Phionah is enrolled in Kageno Nursery School where she is learning prewriting, counting, English and is fed two complete meals each school day. She loves playing with toys.
