Presents a description of a study of the effects of the Pre-School Health Programme at three clinics that are in different ecological zones in central province, Kenya. In this nutrition programme, mothers and children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years are required to pay monthly visits to the clinics. Children are weighed and nutrition education is given with the distribution of supplementary food rations. Two groups of mothers, that is recent entrants and longtime participants were selected for interviewing. Results reveal that the success of the programme lies in the food distribution rather than in the educational section.
