CHILD SPOTLIGHT: FATIMA
CHILD SPOTLIGHT: FATIMA
Fatima (9 months) and her mother were referred to a stabilization center in Somalia, where they moved after being displaced by drought and losing their livestock. Fatima is not able to get enough nutritional food and their water supply isn’t of a good quality. Fatima had been very sick with diarrhea and vomiting.
In addition to treatment, the center also provided the family with her IV fluid, milk and RUTF, plus other medicines. Her mother Anima was given meals while staying with Fatima during treatment. Without this, she says that she might have had to leave the center, no matter what condition her daughter was in.
