Nutrition, Afghanistan

Now we eat vegetables at every meal, I am stronger, I can do my housework and take care of my children and a sick member of our family.

Malnutrition continues to increase across Afghanistan. The United Nations now reports 3.2 million children in Afghanistan face acute malnutrition. We expect this to worsen over the winter as the bitter cold forces many families to divert part of their funds towards heating instead of food.

Two months later, Serah was improving from the malnutrition. 

Soon Mohammed was back to a normal weight and Farzana was delighted to see her son playing again, standing and moving, and having an appetite.
