Four-year-old Ndinabo likes to wrestle and play with the other children in his community. He is the fourth child in his family, and he attends a local school.
Ndinabo has malnutrition, accompanied by fever and diarrhea. He was unable to return to school when it began in September. He was referred to our medical partner’s hospital, Bwindi Community Hospital, by community health workers. He and his father walked for four hours through the hills of Bwindi to seek care. Without treatment, he risked poor growth and development. Fortunately, Ndinabo began malnutrition treatment on November 5.
Ndinabo’s father, Gad, picks tea in the community. His mother, Allen, is a farm laborer. They contributed $4 to their son’s care, but they need help to fund his $316 treatment.
“I wish to thank the people that are donating to his care,” says Ndinabo’s father. “May God bless you. I want him to go back to school when he has fully recovered.”

Ndinabo received successful malnutrition treatment.
Ndinabo was in the hospital for ten days to be treated for his severe malnutrition. He received therapeutic foods, and his parents received nutritional counseling. Most of his symptoms were gone by the time he was discharged, and he was feeling much better. Now the family is back home in their village in the mountains of southwest Uganda.
“Thank you for helping our child and our family. Ndinabo will be able to go back to nursery school when the new term starts. Having help with his hospital bills helps us pay his school fees,” says Gad, Ndinabo’s father.
