We first built Shades with information on breast feeding. We have now embarked on an integrated engagement in environmental interventions like planting fruit trees as a source of Vitamin C and help fight malnutrition in children. We are also involved in micro environmental health initiatives.

We have since widened our focus to Environmental Health Initiatives.
