Alvin is a 14-month-old baby boy living in a remote mountainous community in the Philippines.
Alvin was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on July 7, Alvin will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Alvin with nutrient enriched food packs to help him gain weight and achieve optimal physical and mental development. The program will also teach his family about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for their son. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Alvin’s ongoing care.
His mother says, “I hope Alvin will recover and develop a strong, healthy body.”
