Nyandarua, Kenya – A new community nutrition initiative in Ndunyu Njeru is encouraging women to adopt healthier, plant-based meals amid growing concerns about diabetes and other lifestyle-related conditions. The initiative, spearheaded by Anne Wangari, Chairperson of Blessed Mothers Nyandarua, seeks to make prevention practical, attractive and sustainable.

Wangari highlights the challenge many face between receiving health advice and knowing how to implement it at home. The initiative, part of Maisha Mothers' broader women's wellbeing programme by Thalia Psychotherapy, aims to integrate nutrition into family discussions on overall wellbeing.
