Meet Dickson, a three-year-old boy from Uganda who enjoys running around with his friends and singing and dancing to music on the radio. “Dickson has severe acute malnutrition,” our medical partner, the Kellermann Foundation, explains. Along with preventing him from being as active as his peers, “his symptoms include extreme oedema (or excess fluid in the body), skin sores and diarrhea. He also has a fever and cough.” “Dickson lives with his grandparents and five other cousins about 8 km from the hospital. His grandparents are retired church ministers and currently subsistence farmers growing beans, millet and cassava,” the Kellermann Foundation continues. Due to their age, his grandparents are unable to grow enough food for the family and provide Dickson with a hearty diet. $375 will cover the cost of Dickson’s malnutrition treatment. “Dickson will be enrolled on therapeutic feeds, given antibiotics and de-worming tablets," his doctor explains. Along with medical care for his immediate symptoms, Dickson's grandmother will also enroll in nutrition classes to help her ensure her grandson's long term health. “My grandchild has been very sick for the last month and this has made me very worried," Dickson's grandmother said. "I wish to thank everyone supporting the care of my child. And may God bless you all.”
