A Treatment that makes the Difference

Liella is a tree-year-old girl who lives in Bukeye commune, centre of Burundi, When she was one-year-old, she became sick, her health status worsened daily. What worsened it most was the fact that instead of taking her to hospital, her mother Alice carried her to witch doctors that performed their rituals in vain. When she resorted to taking her child to hospital under the pressure of health mobilisers, her child was found to be severely malnourished. World Vision Burundi health mobilisers in her area decided to follow up with that case and started paying home visits to Liella’s mother to teach her how she should prepare nutritious food for her child. Liella has now recovered; she is a healthy and lively three-year-old girl. Thanks to World Vision Nutrition project.
