A Grandmother’s Fight Against Malnutrition

Dollow, Somalia faces severe health issues, with acute malnutrition prevalent due to insufficient food and milk intake, further aggravated by disease outbreaks and a lack of healthcare and WASH services. The situation has led to a spike in malnutrition cases, especially among children under five, exacerbated by the region's enduring drought that has severely limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities. This has resulted in the spread of diseases such as Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and measles.
