Mereani Ravuca believes her duty as a mother is to provide nutritious food for her children and keep their kitchen stocked with healthy options.

She prioritises feeding them green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits sourced from the local market.

“By doing so, my main aim is to support their growth, helping them become healthier and stronger,” she said. Mereani also encourages other shoppers to spend more at the local markets, where fresh and natural foods are readily available, and to rely less on the supermarkets.

“This is a way to promote better eating habits, support local vendors, and ensure families have access to wholesome, nourishing meals every day.”
