The Center for Recovery and Nutrition Education (CREN) is located in Basse Santa Su region, one of the poorest rural areas of the Republic of Gambia.

Educate women in nutrition and food hygiene together with their economic and social empowerment, can be one of the main pillars for the reduction of child malnutrition.
