Gloria is making a steady recovery

Malnutrition - The Silent Killer
At a stabilization center that handles very severe malnutrition cases in the Lodwar district hospital in Northern Kenya, baby Gloria is making a steady recovery after nutritionists put her on fortified milk which she feeds on every three hours.

Gloria, 6 months old, weighed 12 pounds upon admission to the World Vision funded center. Her severe malnourishment was compounded by a chest infection. Nurses commented that Gloria is lucky to be alive. Gloria’s grandmother, seventy-year-old Aregai, travelled a whole day to get her granddaughter medical treatment.

Because of your help, Gloria is receiving nutritious food and health care!  Thank you so much for helping a child in need!
