Iris Zimpeto, Maputo, Mozambique: Baby ‘M’ was born small and sickly to a very poor widow and mother to two other children. The mother developed wounds on both breasts, finding it difficult to breast-feed her baby. When they arrived at our Community Milk Program for help, baby M was very sick, malnourished, and under-developed. After months of receiving infant formula and medications, baby M graduated from the program when she turned 1 year of age. She is still a little unde...rweight for her age, but during the last 2 months on the program her weight stabilized, her health flourished, and her growth chart finally followed a normal healthy curve. Many babies like baby M don’t survive their first 2 years of life, and even if they do, they remain sickly for most of their childhood. Suffering from malnutrition, some children even have developmental delays that last a lifetime. Because of this program, baby M was able to not only survive but to overcome a huge obstacle in her first year of life that otherwise could have negatively impacted her for years, decades, or a lifetime. Baby M is just one example of the many babies and families that are flourishing because of your generosity to the most vulnerable among us. Thank you ....
