It is often thought that people in Burkina Faso are starving, but it is true only to a minimum. The real plagues are malnutrition and food insecurity, not always due to the shortage of means and foods. Women, rural populations do not necessarily have the knowledge to prepare food for children. It happens then that mothers give children a soup with no nutrients, practically the milling water. Here‘s the project: use the ingredients available on site to prepare nutritious flours. In the midst of the circle of moms coming from the various villages and gathering under a large tree, the animator arranges some wood among the stones, prepares the fire and supports a pot. If the baby has lightened hair and works, white dehydrated and conjunctival skin, mothers have learned that they need bouillie, flour, which in just two weeks of administration can help resolve the less serious cases, while in a month can assure A more lasting effect.
