Fatuma is worried about her son Muad. She’s been walking with her four kids for days to find help for Muad and refuge from the drought that’s ravaging Somalia. “My biggest fear is that he might die of hunger. He can't breastfeed,” she says. “He won’t take food. He needs treatment.”

Muad is 1.5 years old, but weighs just 6.8 kilograms. That’s the average weight for a 4-month-old baby. He’s way too thin. “I feel so bad. My baby has never walked,” says Fatuma. Muad’s upper-arm measurement is in the red zone. Which means hunger is killing him. If he doesn’t urgently receive high-energy food and support, he won’t survive.

Habiibo’s baby Hamdi is her joy and the reason she keeps going. But just one month ago, malnutrition was killing her. Little Hamdi was desperately hungry. She coughed constantly and had diarrhoea all the time. At 7 months, she weighed only 4kg, almost half that of a healthy girl her age.

Habiibo rushed to find help. And because of generous, kind supporters like you, help met her with open arms. Hamdi received special therapeutic baby food that saved her life. After one month of treatment, she's back to a healthy weight and her cough has gone. Habiibo is so grateful. “I feel hopeful my baby’s health is back on track,” she says.
