…but weighs only 14 pounds. He was severely malnourished when brought to Chances for Children. He had been living with his mother and father, who live in very poor conditions in the south of Haiti. The mother was still breast feeding him since she was pregnant with her second child. Unfortunately, she got sick and died after childbirth. As a result, Genel has not had food in quite some time and he is dehydrated as well. Thanks to your generosity, Manish and anonymous donor, we are starting him on Medika Mamba immediately.

Medika Mamba is creole for peanut butter medicine and is an energy dense peanut butter that is significantly fortified with protein and nutritional supplements. This product both helps children battle the serious effects of malnutrition and provides jobs to peanut farmers in Haiti.

We can’t wait to see the difference your contributions will make for this little boy. Thank you!
