In Zambia and other places where World Vision works, families often eat only what they grow, which may be one or two crops.<\/p>\n

Community volunteers teach mothers to combine three kinds of foods to give children energy and to build and protect their bodies.<\/p>\n

The approach is called Go, Grow, Glow.<\/p>\n

“Go” foods are energy foods — grains, roots, and tubers. In Zambia, the most common “Go” food is maize.<\/p>\n

“Grow” foods build the body — proteins like milk, eggs, legumes, fish, and chicken.<\/p>\n

“Glow” foods — fruits and green leafy vegetables, rich in Vitamin A — help protect the body from disease.<\/p>\n

Community volunteers use storybooks with pictures to teach mothers how to combine the food groups, turning them into a tasty porridge, or serve all three together. Mothers then gather — each bringing the one or two ingredients they have in their household — and cook together, combining the foods into a healthy meal like this one. Give it a try with your own kids.<\/p>\n
