So, now what does Sweet Potatoes have to do with ONE Moms and World Moms Blog?
Malnutrition claims the lives of well over three million children a year. Sweet potatoes have the power to provide much-needed nutrients like vitamins C, A and B6 to undernourished children, helping to avert stunting and ensuring proper growth. On top of that, sweet potatoes are relatively cheap to produce and easy to grow in uncertain conditions, perfect for regions prone to drought and famine. ONE members signed the petition urging world leaders to reduce chronic child malnutrition for 25 million children by 2016.
This Saturday, the World Moms chimed in with how they do it at their home. Check out some of the recipes from around the world.
