Mae is a one-year-old girl from the Philippines. She is spirited and enjoys singing songs and dancing.
Mae was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on June 29, Mae will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Mae with nutrient enriched food packs to help her gain weight and achieve optimal physical and mental development. The program will also teach her family about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for their daughter. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Mae’s ongoing care.
“I’ve always dreamed my daughter would grow up to be a good teacher someday. I hope that my child will recover from her malnutrition and become more active and playful,” Mae’s mother said.
