Mama Max

Mama Max lives with Baba Max and their two children, who are 10 years and 19 months old. Their kitchen walls are covered in soot as a result of smoke produced when cooking. In addition to the smoke, cooking costs are high because fuel is expensive. 

Mama's kitchen is renovated which includes a new roof to properly protect the kitchen from the elements. Mama is also taught the importance of providing a balanced diet to her family and how to include foods from the 5 main food groups for her family's health.
