Nine-month-old Fermin lives with his parents in rural Guatemala. He is a happy baby who loves to eat eggs and bananas and play with a toy car his father gave him. His farther works in the fields to support the family, and his mother weaves to bring in extra income.
Fermin is currently suffering from malnutrition, which is beginning to affect his size and his immune system, putting him at greater risk of infection and sickness.
For $512, Wuqu’ Kawoq can provide growth monitoring, micronutrients, and food supplementation to help Fermin recover from his malnutrition and live a healthy life.

Fermin received successful malnutrition treatment.
Fermin has been growing very well since he began treatment for malnutrition. He has nearly reached a healthy height and weight for his age, has not gotten sick, and has had more energy to play. His mother is thrilled that her son is no longer getting sick every week with colds, coughs, and diarrhea.
His mother says, “Now he is eating eggs, broccoli, bananas, and he is stronger. He plays with his Aunt Zoila, and they run with the chickens. We hope that he keeps growing and that he goes to school and becomes an intelligent boy.”
