This project is so essential to the community. It was established to help the most vulnerable children suffering from malnutrition to get the best rehabilitation. This project has been very successful, we are almost reaching our goal of $55,000.
So many vulnerable malnourished children have been saved with the help of our amazing outreach team and the nutritionist. In the past three months, Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital registered 39 malnourished children for rehabilitation. Some of the children were severely malnourished while the others had oedematous.
Every donation given towards this project has been used for it's purpose of saving the vulnerable malnourihed children from different communities in the Eastern region of Uganda. so many families have been changed positively, their children have been healed and indeed there is a positive impact in the community.
We thank you so much for generously continuing to donate towards this life saving project.

Whisper has rehabilitated 45 malnourished children

In the past three months, Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity has saved quite a big number of malnourished children registered in our nutritional ward. We have saved a total of 45 malnourished children in the past three months. Few of these patients had mild malnutrition but the biggest number of patients received were severely malnourished.
Tuberculosis is so common among the malnourished children since they have immunosuppression. They are always referred to Nalufenya Hospital to get Anti-TBs and later brought back to Whisper's Hospital to complete their nutritional rehabilitation. Most of our patients are brought in by their caretakers who are not their biological parents. This shows a high level of child negligence within the families.
The major causes of malnutrition at our Hospital in the past three days as reported by our nutritionist and social workers are poverty(extreme), prolonged drought and domestic violence whereby parents neglect their children to their grandparents or even stepmothers who mistreat them by beating and denying them food to eat at home. Some of these malnourished children come when they are so wasted while others come with grade 3 oedema.
We thank all our donors for supporting us through donating to this project. So many lives are being saved in Uganda.

Whisper's malnourishment report
By LUBWAMA RONALD | PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER

In the past four years, Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital treated 42 malnourished children. Most of these children are brought in by their grandmothers and teenage mothers. These children lack enough food to eat because of the poverty in their families.
Most of our patients are abandoned to their grandmothers who are too old to work inorder to earn a meal to take them through the day. They are left to starve and become so wasted. There are several severely malnourished children who die immediately after arrival to the Hospital whereas others die even before reaching the Hospital. This is because of lack of transport costs to bring the child to the Hospital.
We have the outreach team who travel to different villages with hope of rescuing the malnourished children. The major causes of malnutrition in the Eastern region are, child negligence, abandonment and poor feeding. The children are put on nutritional rehabilitation for a period of around 3 weeks depending on the type of malnutrition.
Whisper's Magical Hospital empowers the families of the malnourished children before they are discharged. Although most times the Hospital budget doesn't favour the empowerment project. https://www.globalgiving.org/microprojects/whispers-empowerment-project/
We thank all our donors for the generous support towards our malnutrition project.
