Your donations give Hamdi hope!

Puntland- 15 Aug
Hamdi pictured here with her malnourished 8 month-old baby son, Naimo, also suffers from TB which he contracted from his infected father. Naimo is sick coughing and has diarrhea and thankfully his mother brought him to a World Vision health screening in Magacley village, Somalia, on the border with Ethiopia.

The family used to have 30 goats to provide milk for Naimo and his 2 sisters, but now the family only has 5 because of the drought.  Sadly, these goats are too weak to produce milk anymore. Both parents are unemployed and survive on unreliable remittances from relatives working abroad. Hamdi says, “I worry about my children because of their loss of appetite. But I have hope that they will get food and an education because World Vision is here.” World Vision works in 10 of the very remote villages hard hit by the current drought.

Thanks to your help, World Vision is able to bring much needed food and water to kids such as Naimo.  Thank you so very much for your support, your assistance is greatly appreciated!
