TH FOUNDATION RUNS PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE MALNUTRITION RATES IN THE POPULATION SERVED BY THE CDC. THESE INCLUDE DAILY SNACKS FOR PARTICIPANTS, HEALTH AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP WORKSHOPS, COURSES IN FOOD PREPARATION, AND A PROGRAM OF NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT FOR ALL AGES AT THE CENTER.

IN ADDITION, VOLUNTEERS AT THE CDC RUN SELF-AWARENESS WORKSHOPS, EMPOWERING LOCAL WOMEN AND HELPING THEM TO BE PROUD OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR ROLE AS WOMEN. AS PART OF THE ARTS & CRAFTS PROGRAM, THEY USE LOCAL MATERIALS LIKE IRACA PALM LEAVES, AS WELL AS RECYCLED MATERIALS, TO MAKE TOYS FOR PETS AND OTHER ITEMS.
