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.
When children are at their most vulnerable, when disaster strikes, in times of crisis, in places where poverty puts children at risk – Save the Children is there.
