Your monthly donation could provide children and families affected by war, natural disasters and other crisis across the world, with life-saving essentials like food, water and healthcare.
Nourishment for Aisha
Saadia*, caring for her daughter Aisha. Aisha is being treated for malnutrition in Wajir, Kenya.
When Aisha* was 2 years old, extreme drought killed her family's livestock, causing a devastating shortage of food for the whole family. Saadia*, Aisha's Mum, thought her daughter wouldn't make it another day when she brought her to the Save the Children Severe Malnutrition Centre in Kenya.
Aisha's body was starting to shut down when she was given nutrient-packed food paste, which quickly helped to save her life and within just days of starting treatment, Aisha was full of energy and took her first steps.
Now, Aisha is 3 years old and thriving. Saadia also recently welcomed her second child, and both children are in good health. Saadia shared that during her hospital stay with Aisha, she gained valuable knowledge on health awareness and childcare.
Acute malnutrition doesn't stand a chance when we come together and with the right support there is a world full of endless possibilities for children like Aisha*.
