Often the picture of severe malnutrition is a child from Africa with a thin body or distended belly. However, in Central America the issue can go unnoticed. At first glance, 5-year-old Nicole in Nicaragua appears to be normal, but she is short for her age and extremely underweight. At the start of her RUTF treatment she weighed only 23.8 pounds. “I felt worried because I knew that there was a problem with her weight,” Nicole’s mother, Reyna, says. “She was not that active. She didn’t finish her meals.” Through World Vision’s health monitoring program, Reyna was given a six-week treatment of RUTF for Nicole. After she had been eating the fortified peanut butter paste for three weeks her weight was on the upswing, extreme fatigue was a thing of the past, and hope was now part of her future. “Now I can see she’s running and more active,” says Reyna. “I really hope she can continue studying and become somebody.” “I like drawing. I also like to draw the sun and I also I like to paint,” says Nicole. Story and photos used in WV Magazine Life Frames: https://magazine.worldvision.org/stories/nicole-in-nicaragua
