An anxious journey to find help

When your child is sick, you do whatever it takes. Marwo* walked for an hour and a half across cracked fields and dry riverbeds with her sick baby on her back.

At a health centre supported by Save the Children, a nurse discovered that eleven-month-old Mahdiya* was severely malnourished. Mahdiya received medicine and fortified therapeutic food, and Marwo was shown how to feed her a little at a time. Mahdiya is recovering because help was there when her family needed it.
