We are deeply grateful to all our donors for their unwavering support, which has enabled us to continue making a life-saving difference for malnourished children in Uganda. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to treat and rehabilitate some of the most vulnerable children, giving them a chance to grow, thrive, and regain hope for a healthy future.
Malnutrition remains one of Uganda’s most critical public health challenges. With approximately 29% of children under the age of five suffering from stunted growth and 4% facing acute malnutrition (wasting), the urgency of this issue cannot be overstated. These children are not just fighting hunger—they are fighting for survival. This is where your contributions have made all the difference.
In just the last three months, with your support, Whisper’s Nutrition Ward has successfully treated and rehabilitated 70 severely malnourished babies. Each child received essential therapeutic feeding, medical treatment, and care, allowing them to recover from starvation.
Through our outpatient therapeutic program, we continue to support many more children on the road to recovery. This ongoing care ensures that their progress is closely monitored and that they continue to regain their strength even after leaving the ward.
Malnutrition is common in remote villages, far from accessible healthcare. Through Whisper’s outreach program, we travel to these underserved areas to identify malnourished children and offer education to families about proper nutrition. More importantly, we bring critically malnourished children back to our ward for intensive rehabilitation. This expansion of our services has allowed us to reach even more children who would otherwise be left without care.
Since the establishment of Whisper’s Nutrition Ward, we are proud to have saved and rehabilitated over 10,000 children. This remarkable milestone could never have been achieved without your compassion and support. Every child’s life we’ve saved stands as a testament to the profound difference that your donations make.
With your continued support, we will expand our outreach efforts, enhance our therapeutic care, and work towards the day when no child in Uganda suffers from malnutrition.
Thank you. Your generosity is not just changing lives—it is saving them.
