Hello, my name is Angella, I am 29 years old and I live in Kampala in Uganda.

2. What’s your favourite national dish or food?

My favourite national dish or food? I must say I enjoy sweet potatoes and g-nuts or g-nut paste.

Well, here in Uganda, I would majorly point out limited food access, maternal malnutrition, ignorance about the issue and poor feeding practices as the major challenges we are facing.

4. Have you personally been facing issues to maintain a healthy diet? If so, what did you do to improve it?

Yes, I have personally faced issues to maintain a healthy diet, but I had an opportunity to get a nutrition chart from the nutritional consultance unit where my son was admitted and I have since improved significantly.

5. If you had a budget of €10.000, what would you do to improve the situation in Uganda regarding Hidden Hunger?

If I had a budget of €10.000, I would set up workshops or training to enlighten people on the issue, I would provide nutrition care and support and gather information from target groups to pave way for improved nutrition programs
