How to reach a malnourished child: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again

Before When young Nicholas Ngumbua was first identified as malnourished his mother was given a food supplement and instructed on its use. Unfortunately, the child became ill from an unrelated infection, and Mom feared the illness was due to the supplement and discontinued it. This family has no transportation and lives so far from the clinic they can not return. Thanks to our Community Health Workers (CHWs) the child was seen again at an outreach clinic. Nicholas’s supplemental feeding program was started again. A complete recovery from malnourishment is expected.
