Her story

Afi lives with her mom and several siblings. When we first met them, the mom was a street vendor but was not working to take care of Afi. Her dad was a mechanic, but he did not have a fixed job, and he lived away from home. At 6 weeks old, Afi had the same weight as when she was born (2.3 kg). In fact, her mom had little breast milk, and Afi had difficulty breastfeeding. She was getting out of breath very quickly. We have supported her through the donation of artificial milk and medical care at our center. Due to her state of undernutrition, at almost 2 years old, Afi is now suffering from a psychomotor delay (she is not yet walking or talking). We are funding her physiotherapy sessions, which are helping her make a lot of progress!⁠
