This is a group of 10 women who meet twice a month to eat lunch together and attend presentations and discussions on topics such as nutrition and family planning. They also have access to low (or no) cost medications from our dispensary, consultations with our Registered Nurse, Heidi, and our eco-stove project. Many of their children have received Alianza scholarships.
