Manka’ah Che, a 2019 Fellowship Alumna from Cameroon, is passionate about educating people across her country — especially mothers — about the importance of early nutrition. Growing up in Bamenda, many children did not have enough to eat, and it was this early exposure to malnutrition that, in part, sparked her interest.
