Urgent Somalia appeal Posted: 04 Mar 2015 03:27 AM PST Title:  March Somalia Appeal Halima's story Halima is suffering from severe malnutrition. At 17 months old, she weighs just 11.5 pounds – a weight the average child in Ireland would reach at just two or three months old. Halima's mother, Saidia, came to Mogadishu in search of healthcare for her sick daughter. Saidia does her best to feed Halima, but there is so little food to go around that her baby is wasting away. "We eat maize and rice two times a day. It isn't enough." With such severe malnutrition, it could take as long as three months of treatment to get Halima back to anywhere near full health. Our work in Somalia Concern is one of a small number of charities working in Somalia's displacement camps. We operate four health centres and our team of community health workers visits temporary camps to find and treat sick children. With the number of severely malnourished children being admitted to Concern clinics increasing every day, we urgently need to train more of these dedicated people and provide them with life-saving supplies.  You can help Your donations are vital in supporting Concern's community health workers in their mission to save children like Halima from malnourishment. A gift of €15 could provide a month's supply of clean water for a struggling family. A gift of €35 could save a child from malnourishment. A gift of €62 could help to train a new health worker to treat sick children. Donate now.
