VHW's holistic approach to community health includes nutrition, small-scale agriculture, women's empowerment and education. Community health days are celebrated with dancing and drumming and families flock from far and wide so their children's development can be properly tracked. It is now a model for health care for the rest of the country". [Text of entire article.]
