Muzaphar; the young boy with old eyes

We've spent two days and one night very deep in the remote villages of Bugiri district looking for sick, dying, malnourished children.

We encountered many desperate people begging for help, and have met suffering babies, but the worse case was one and a half year old, severely malnourished  Muzaphar who also has a malaria. We were told that the  malaria entered every parts and bone of his body.





His mother doesn't care about him and has abandoned him a while ago because she got pregnant again. Muzaphar ended up with a grandmother who wasn't feeding him. 
We instantly took him to the hospital where he was urgently admitted.






The first day we got him to the hospital, Muzaphar was diagnosed with kwashiorkor.  Doctors at the children's hospital Nalfenya have told us that it's going to be a long, difficult and expensive recovery since his test results are very bad. Also, his brain might be permanently damaged but it's to early to tell for sure.






Please, help us to save his life, because this baby boy will not make it without a proper medical care.

Give him a chance to grow up!
