This story highlights the transformative impact of a malnutrition prevention initiative in Luiza, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It tells the personal story of Oscar, a three-year-old boy diagnosed with acute malnutrition during a community screening, and how his father, Stéphane, found hope and help through the project. Struggling with poverty and despair, Stéphane was guided by community health workers to the Tutanter Health Center, where Oscar received free treatment, including Plumpy’Nut, a therapeutic food. Alongside the medical support, the family also received seeds, baby rabbits, and farming tools from World Vision, enabling Stéphane to start a small farming operation. This support helped restore Oscar’s health and improved the family’s food security and income. Now a community advocate, Stéphane shares his experience to encourage others to adopt better nutrition and farming practices.
