CHOICES for Children has linked up with the Lucky Iron Fish project which came to train 31 staff and partners in January. Take home messages from the training were that the iron fish can fight anemia when we put it into the food cooking pot and boil it for 10 minutes. If you clean it each time after cooking, it should last for 5 years. It costs $5 to $8 per fish, depending on the quantity ordered.
After the training, the CHOICES team has plans to start using the iron fish in May. After raising awareness with Reflect Circle facilitators, we will work with the Iron Fish Company to provide at least 3 per village to use during PD Hearth sessions and share with targeted families. The Iron Fish Company will be linked with all families so that those who can afford the fish can purchase it directly. The iron fish company will help us follow-up with the adoption and usage and after 6 months we will determine if we should scale up throughout the project target area.
