Abdi, four, has his upper arm measured by a Save the Children worker at a treatment center for malnourished children in Fincharo village, in the Mandera district of Northeastern Kenya. In recent months, Abdi had lost a third of his weight due to malnutrition and he came down with a life threatening case of malaria. Food shortages caused by persistent drought, coupled with the lack of adequate medical facilities are threatening the lives of young children like Abdi throughout Kenya. Save the Children is feeding the most vulnerable children and mothers, and we're treating children suffering from malnutrition.
