“Education is the most powerful weapon one can use to change the world. It is the engine of personal development. Through it, a daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, a son of a miner can become the head of a mine, a child of a farmer can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make of what we have, and not what we are given, that separates one person from another” - Nelson Mandela
It is with this philosophy that we offer value-adding capacity building trainings in the following areas:
• Food Preparation Practices
• Nutritional Management of HIV
• School Feeding Nutrition Training
• Basics of HACCP
• Office Canteen Management
Anyone in the food handling environment can benefit from the above trainings.
