In Madagascar, nearly half of all children suffer from chronic malnutrition, yet hope is growing through the dedication of local leaders and global partners. Safidy, communications lead for Reny sy Zaza Tomady, shares powerful stories of mothers who refuse to give up on their children despite overwhelming poverty. Through partnership with Bountiful Children’s Foundation, more than 130 children have been screened for malnutrition and over 115 are now receiving nutritional support, education, and follow-up care.
