Hi kelly,

Great to read we see the sustainability factor of this wisdom. In the initiative of soup of the day for the partner indigenous community livelihood organic farming,we called this roll out (intra and extra). Intra when they mentor a clan within the tribe and Extra when they are mentoring a different tribe. This is a requirement when we work with them in their communities. Like a paying forward scheme sort of.

Good luck to your entry!

“The networking approach is fantastic! I thought that this was a model that could be easily replicated in other parts of the world. Overall, it has great potential and it’s very scalable.”

“It’s like a great deed that keeps spreading and spreading - very interesting and innovative. I really like the fact that they not only tackle malnutrition but over nutrition as well. It’s all about capacity-building, and really just getting the community to rally around a common problem and then find a viable solution to it.”

Hello,
My name is Edward Miller, I'm a student at BU and have been working with the good people at WHY for some time now, on a volunteer basis. They have a great line of research and programs and deserve this grant.
