Marvious is a six-year-old girl from Uganda who has been diagnosed with malnutrition. Her diet does not provide her with sufficient nutrients and calories. Marvious is the oldest child of three. She was enrolled in school, but her symptoms have recently stopped her from attending. When she is feeling well, Marvious enjoys playing with other children in her community. Left untreated, malnutrition can lead to reduced growth and development. Fortunately, Marvious began malnutrition treatment on November 26. This treatment is provided by our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation. Marvious's parents, Ruth and Ben, work as farmers. They own a small piece of land, on which they grow food for the family. However, they cannot afford their daughter's treatment. Though they contributed $4, our medical partner is requesting another $316 in funding. Once Marvious has recovered, Ruth hopes to send her daughter back to school. "I wish to thank everyone that is contributing towards the care of my daughter," she says. "To have support from Watsi is a relief to me. May God bless the donors."
