After a long time support of the families with children that are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS under “Improving Nutritional Status of Children Infected and Affected by HIV/AIDS through sustainable diet diversification practices Project” funded by Egmont Trust, it was discovered that besides material support, cookery demonstrations were necessary. Families could cultivate and keep livestock, but they had limited knowledge on how best to prepare them to become appetizing. Joyce Nyalongwe, one of the beneficiaries of the project ratifies that in the first place, she did not know that juice can be made from sweet potato leaves. “What I only knew was to eat potato tubers and leaves after cooking. I have also learnt on how to make meat from soya beans. Diversity in the use of what I produce in different forms at my household has improved nutritional status of my children because everyone is interested to eat or take them at any time and in abundant.” Joyce says.
