The Tikhuba clinic is an unremarkable,

low-slung, aluminum-roofed building on a

dusty patch of ground in a remote part of

Swaziland. But fo

r many local fa

milies, it is

the place of miracles.

On a windy summer morning, more

than a dozen women held children on their

laps in a small waitin

g area under fl ickering

fl uorescent lights. Babies’ cries competed

w ith mothers’ whispers. A few toddlers

surveyed the scene w ith wary eyes. Other

little ones sat slackly against their moth-

ers, looking on im

passively, too weak to be

curious.

Several of the children suffered from

severe acute malnutrition, a persistent

and deadly condition in this tin

y, drought-

plagued country in Southern Africa. Rising

food prices have compounded the problem,

taking a grim toll on Swaziland’s young-

est. In 2007, as the country experienced its

worst drought in 15 years, UNICEF worked

with the government to establish com-

munity-based feeding centers throughout

Swaziland.

One of these centers was set up at th

e

Tikhuba clinic. Here, malnourished children

are given lifesaving, nutrie

nt-packed thera-

peutic foods — delivered to the clinic by

UNICEF in collaboration with its partners —

that help them recover and regain weight.

After a child has been treated, nurses moni-

tor his or her progress, measuring weight,

height, and arm circumference.

Gabsile Mamba believes the clinic’s staff

saved her infant son ’s life. The little boy,

named Siyabonga and then less than a

year old, had worrisome symptoms: vom-

iting, diarrhea, and rapid weight lo

ss. “ At

one point, I thought he was going to die,”

said his twenty-two-year-old mother.

She rushed the baby to the clinic, where

he was diagnosed with severe acute mal-

nutrition. Nurses prescribed Plumpy’nut® ,

a ready-to-use, high-energy peanut paste

A global food crisis and a faltering economy have put more children

at risk of sta

rvation and disease. UNICEF is responding with

lifesaving therapeutic foods and a comprehensive nutrition stra

tegy.

Take a look at our interactive hunger map at http://cdn.wfp.org/hungermap/

Proportion of total population undernourished, 2011-13

It costs on average just US 25 cents a day to feed a hungry child and change her life forever.

While food is the most basic of human needs required for survival, on average, 1 in 8 people

go to bed hungry each night.

We can achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Halving hunger

by 2015, as pledged in the Millennium Development

Goals, is the firststep.

The Tikhuba clinic is an unremarkable,

low-slung, aluminum-roofed building on a

dusty patch of ground in a remote part of

Swaziland. But fo

r many local fa

milies, it is

the place of miracles.

On a windy summer morning, more

than a dozen women held children on their

laps in a small waitin

g area under fl ickering

fl uorescent lights. Babies’ cries competed

w ith mothers’ whispers. A few toddlers

surveyed the scene w ith wary eyes. Other

little ones sat slackly against their moth-

ers, looking on im

passively, too weak to be

curious.

Several of the children suffered from

severe acute malnutrition, a persistent

and deadly condition in this tin

y, drought-

plagued country in Southern Africa. Rising

food prices have compounded the problem,

taking a grim toll on Swaziland’s young-

est. In 2007, as the country experienced its

worst drought in 15 years, UNICEF worked

with the government to establish com-

munity-based feeding centers throughout

Swaziland.

One of these centers was set up at th

e

Tikhuba clinic. Here, malnourished children

are given lifesaving, nutrie

nt-packed thera-

peutic foods — delivered to the clinic by

UNICEF in collaboration with its partners —

that help them recover and regain weight.

After a child has been treated, nurses moni-

tor his or her progress, measuring weight,

height, and arm circumference.

Gabsile Mamba believes the clinic’s staff

saved her infant son ’s life. The little boy,

named Siyabonga and then less than a

year old, had worrisome symptoms: vom-

iting, diarrhea, and rapid weight lo

ss. “ At

one point, I thought he was going to die,”

said his twenty-two-year-old mother.

She rushed the baby to the clinic, where

he was diagnosed with severe acute mal-

nutrition. Nurses prescribed Plumpy’nut® ,

a ready-to-use, high-energy peanut paste

A global food crisis and a faltering economy have put more children

at risk of sta

rvation and disease. UNICEF is responding with

lifesaving therapeutic foods and a comprehensive nutrition stra

tegy.

Take a look at our interactive hunger map at http://cdn.wfp.org/hungermap/

Proportion of total population undernourished, 2011-13

It costs on average just US 25 cents a day to feed a hungry child and change her life forever.

While food is the most basic of human needs required for survival, on average, 1 in 8 people

go to bed hungry each night.

We can achieve Zero Hunger in our lifetimes. Halving hunger

by 2015, as pledged in the Millennium Development

Goals, is the firststep.
