Gardens for Health International
Gardens for Health International (GHI), an American 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, seeks to provide sustainable agricultural solutions to the problem of chronic childhood malnutrition. The organization partners with rural health centers in the Gasabo and Musanze districts of Rwanda to equip families facing malnutrition with seeds, livestock, and know-how, aiming to shift the paradigm of food aid dependency to one of prevention and self-sufficiency.
==History==
GHI was founded in 2007 by then college students Emma Clippinger, Emily Morell Balkin, and Julie Carney, with the goal of providing lasting agricultural solutions to pressing public health problems in Rwanda.〔Marcia DeSanctis (December 12, 2013). ("Into Africa" ). ''Marie Claire''. Retrieved February 26, 2014.〕〔Liza Mundy (June 8, 2008). ("The Adventures of Supergrad" ). ''The Washington Post''. Retrieved February 26, 2014.〕 Clippinger and Morell met in the summer of 2006 while interning in Rwanda with the Clinton Foundation’s HIV/AIDS initiative. They became interested in identifying programs that used agriculture as a means to improve nutrition and health rather than solely as a means to increase income.
Carney joined the founding team in 2007 and became GHI’s first country director in 2008, when she launched GHI’s pilot program.〔Erin Carlyle (June 6, 2014). ("Introducing the Forbes 30 Under 30: Social Entrepreneurs, Class of 2014" ). ''Forbes''. Retrieved February 26, 2014.〕 In response to Rwanda’s 44% childhood malnutrition rate,〔(The 2010 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey. ) Retrieved February 26, 2014.〕 GHI’s programming evolved to focus on this particular public health challenge. Under Carney, GHI launched its core effort in August 2010, in the form of a health center program. Through this program, GHI partners with rural health centers with the aim of bringing lasting agricultural solutions to families in need at the point of care.
Carney approached the design and implementation of this health center program through the lens of community-led development. The GHI curriculum and training methodology was created in partnership with mothers that the organization serves, and the organization's agriculture team works cross-culturally to continue designing interventions.
