  • Description

    Description

    My name is Kim, 41 years old. I'm originally from the Netherlands but have been living in Uganda for the last 15 years.
    Together with my 3 adopted daughters I live in a cozy village home in the South of Uganda.
    In 2011 I started a nutrition unit in a nearby local hospital where we treat severely malnourished children.
    Two years later I established a farm project -- with local community members where we grow crops and produce peanut butter for the children at the nutrition unit.
