Mothers from three districts of Turkana county have been undergoing a nutrition training at golden guest house for the last four days. Speaking on behalf of the district nutrition officer for Turkana central, the facilitator of the workshop Mr. John Tukei, said that they are promoting infant and young child nutrition in the community. This also included exclusive breast feeding and optimal complementary feeding after the six months of birth.
Tukei said that the has also been equipped with knowledge on personal hygiene on food preparation and storage. He insisted on the importance of having such training, since Turkana is so vast and that government officers are not enough to reach all corners, which is the biggest challenge.
The training which was organized by the ministry of health and funded by world vision was attended by more than 30 lead mothers drawn from 15 groups in three districts. The districts represented are Turkana south, east and central, which gave two members per group. The workshop started on Tuesday.
