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.
