Zet is a 13-month-old baby from Guatemala. He is the first child in his family, and his parents are thrilled to have him. Zet’s mother is a homemaker, while his father is a farmer and fisherman. Zet’s soccer ball is his favorite toy, and his parents suspect he may be a great athlete in the future!
Zet has been unable to gain weight, and has thus been diagnosed with acute malnutrition. On February 7, Zet will begin treatment at our medical partner’s care center, Clinic Panajachel. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, is asking for $782 to cover the cost of his nutrient and food supplementation. This will also pay for an educational program that will teach his mother about creating a nutrient-rich diet with limited resources.
“We hope that our son grows healthy and that he is able to realize his dreams,” say Zet’s parents.
