Baby Danyal and many other children in Afghanistan need your help
At just eight months old, baby Danyal was suffering from severe malnutrition and spent two weeks at the hospital to recover. He has suffered too much in his young life, weak and malnourished in his mother’s arms, searching for a breath of life. Danyal was lucky to get the help he needed on time and is recovering after being treated for severe acute malnutrition.
You can hear baby Danyal’s giggles in the ward now after his recovery, bright and curious with the strength to plan for a better future. But there are over a million more children like Danyal who are facing malnutrition.
UNICEF has warned that 3.2 million children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition, and these numbers are set to climb. For the families living in poverty across Afghanistan, every day is a struggle to ensure basic food, safe drinking water, and medical treatment for their children. Your donations can help reduce the impact of this crisis.
