Children in Haiti are suffering from acute malnutrition, but you can make an immediate impact.
Children with acute malnutrition endure muscle loss, lack micro-nutrients which give energy, and are more likely to be affected by common illness. Malnutrition can lead to severe cognitive and physical disabilities, and children need immediate treatment to avoid long-term effects.
The children of Haiti need immediate treatment to counteract the long-term effects of malnutrition.
