Makirini is a one-year-old Ugandan girl, who used to be a very playful baby; she was constantly laughing and smiling. However, Makirini is now malnourished and is losing weight rapidly. As a result, she is irritable and has little appetite; without nutritional care she could experience severe developmental delays.
“Makirini’s father refuses to take any responsibility for her and so her single mother is working hard to care for her family and daughter, but she is not able to come up with the money required for the food and care Makirini needs to recover and grow healthily,” writes our medical partner, The Kellerman Foundation.
For $360, Makirini will receive nutritional care to help her become healthy and develop normally. Let’s help Makirini get the help she needs for a happy, healthy childhood!
