Meet Ferchi, a one-year-old girl from Guatemala who is suffering from malnutrition. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, reports, “Ferchi was born very premature. Since then, she’s struggled to grow. She is frequently ill with common things, like diarrhea, which further have restricted her growth.” The lack of nutrition also limits her cognitive development.
Ferchi’s parents understand that they need quality nutrition to help Ferchi. The family’s financial situation prevents them from meeting this goal.
For $535, we can tackle Ferchi’s acute malnutrition. Ferchi will experience an improved diet, heightened cognition, and a resumption of physical growth.
Ferchi’s mother desires that Ferchi, “gets better, so that she can go to school and be successful.”
