Our club has a new maternal and child health Global Grant project that has begun in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe at United Bulawayo Hospitals in partnership with local NGO MATTER, and the Bulawayo Rotary Club. It will provide much needed medical equipment and supplies to the maternal and pediatric wards of the hospital as well an on-site nutrition garden and egg production that will help feed and nourish patients. Recently, members of the Bulawayo Rotary Club and MATTER staff, gathered to plant over 1000 Chaya trees in the nutrition garden area. Chaya foliage is similar to spinach and is one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world. They are easily added to other foods like soup, beans, rice and eggs and are rich in protein, calcium, iron and Vitamins A and C. New Maternal and Child Health Global Grant
