Aileen, who is fondly called Inday, is a two-year-old girl from Philippines. She lives with her parents and loves to sing and dance. Her grandparents work as spiritual healers to support their family.
Aileen has been diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Her hair and skin have become dry, and she has a bloated belly. Beginning on February 22, Aileen will receive at-home medical care from our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM’s home-based feeding program will provide Aileen with nutrient-enriched food packs to ensure she gains weight and achieves optimum physical and mental development. To help sustain Aileen’s health, ICM’s professional staff will educate her mother on proper nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, and organic vegetable gardening.
After treatment, Aileen’s grandmother is looking forward to Aileen growing up to fulfill her dreams!
