This is a very kind and compassionate gesture! You supported a child whose growth faltered, and unfortunately there are many of them in northern Syria, where stunting and poor growth are common among children.
This is a risk indicator that can have lifelong consequences, including impaired cognitive development, decreased productivity, and an increased risk of chronic disease.
These patients are a marginalized group of sick children, as their cases are not seen as urgent or amenable to treatment. Unfortunately, there is an adaptation to poor growth and dwarfismand this is exactly what we are striving to prevent from happening.
Thanks to your support, we were able to provide expensive growth needles, nutritional supplements, and rehabilitation treatment, and saved many lives. They are now growing up safely. Every new day in the life of a child we have treated inspires us to do more.
