Beverly is a four-year-old girl from the Philippines who lives with her mother and two siblings. In her free time, Beverly loves playing hide-and-seek with her neighbors.
Beverly has been diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Without treatment, she is at risk of growth and developmental delays and a massive loss of body fat and muscle tissue.
Our medical partner, International Care Ministries, is requesting $261 to enroll Beverly into a home-based malnutrition treatment program. Beverly will receive micronutrient supplements, nutrient-rich food packs, and medications. Her progress will be closely monitored by community health workers and nutritionists, who will also educate Beverly’s mother about proper nutrition, sanitation, and hygiene.
“I hope that Beverly can return to her normal weight and live a strong and healthy life. Someday I hope she can finish her studies and become a professional,” says Beverly’s mother.
