Aisha* is 2 years old and extreme drought in Kenya has killed her family's livestock causing a devastating shortage of food for the whole family. “When my daughter was sick, I thought she would die. I was terrified to see her in such a situation”, Aisha's mum said when she brought her to the Save the Children - supported hospital.

Aisha was diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Her body was starting to shut down when she was given nutrient-packed food paste, which quickly helped her regain strength and within just days of starting treatment, she was full of energy and took her first steps.  

As you can see, your generous support has already made a significant difference in Aisha's life. But the need is ongoing, and there are countless more children like Aisha  that require continuous care and support.
