When Yusuf first joined Child of Hope, he was severely malnourished and so lethargic that he struggled to keep up in class. His mum had left, leaving him in the care of his dad, who was unable to provide enough food.
Yusuf’s condition was so worrying that Child of Hope immediately stepped in. In addition to school meals of porridge and lunch, we gave him extra nutrition — eggs and bananas every morning. The difference has been incredible. Yusuf’s BMI has risen from 12.9 to 14.5, and he’s now full of energy and eager to learn and play!
Yusuf’s story highlights why our feeding programme — and this year’s Christmas Meals for Slum Families Appeal — is so vital. Many children like Yusuf face hunger daily, but with your help, we can provide life-changing meals this Christmas and throughout the year.
