In Somaliland, Ayaan* is the grandmother and guardian of her six grandchildren, including Abdi*, 17 months and Faduma*, 9 years old. The family struggles with severe poverty and drought. Their father lost his job in the market, and they have no stable source of food or milk after their camels were moved east due to famine. Abdi* suffers from severe malnutrition, which began when he was two months old. With no access to proper nutrients, his health deteriorated significantly. A local health worker helped diagnose Abdi* and connected the family to a Save the Children health centre where Abdi* received the necessary treatment. He was prescribed biscuits and vitamin syrup, leading to a gradual improvement in his condition. Faduma, Abdi’s nine-year-old sister, helps care for him, bathing and feeding him. She was initially very worried about his health but felt relief and happiness as he started to recover with the medical help he received. Despite ongoing challenges, the family remains hopeful and prays for better health and support, grateful for the assistance they have received so far.
