Cases of malnutrition are on the rise. In Malawi we carried out height & weight monitoring to assess the health status of 1,312 children under the age of 5 registered at Seibo nurseries.
Of concern were the number of children who showed signs of being severely underweight and in some cases severe wasting. Our team in Malawi have already taken steps to improve the situation but our work relies on your kindness.
The story of Elizabeth's granny (whose parents left to find work in South Africa) is typical of many families stories;
“Most of the times we eat once or twice a day. Thank you very much for the flour this is a big relief for me as Eliza will be having breakfast. God bless you.”
