They first met eight-month-old Aisha in a rural part of Somalia. Her family, like many others in the area, is perpetually poor. This means they can’t get their hands on safe, healthy food.

Along with her mother, Aisha went to the Muslim Aid health center in October 2019. The fast weight loss and diarrhoea that Aisha was experiencing worried her mother. The similar problem has befallen her sister before. Aisha was admitted to the clinic for treatment after an evaluation revealed that she had acute malnutrition.

Fortunately, Aisha started to feel better after her therapy and was eventually discharged. The Muslim Aid organization is keeping tabs on her, and in the meantime, her family has received nourishing vitamins and assistance.
