Testimony

Faith, 1 year old, suffering from malnutrition


"When Faith, barely a year old, started having convulsions, one of the most dangerous symptoms of malnutrition, her mother, Rahema, thought it was too late. In despair, she hurriedly left her baby to go to the nearest health center run by Action contre la Faim. Faith was rushed to the hospital run by Action contre la Faim, where she was diagnosed with acute malnutrition, malaria and pneumonia".
