Doriana\u2019s health deteriorated quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dona, just 20, lives with her partner, in a modest home they share with seven other people. While the family uses treated water and has access to a latrine, their living conditions remain difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doriana was born at full-term and Dona received regular prenatal care, as well as postnatal follow-up. Doriana\u2019s health began to decline though when her mother introduced complementary foods at just six weeks, which likely contributed to Doriana\u2019s condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dona first sought help from a traditional healer. When that didn\u2019t work, she took Doriana to several health facilities for treatment, but nothing led to improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling like it was her last resort, Dona followed the advice of a community health worker and brought Doriana to a hospital run by PWS&amp;D\u2019s partner, Zanmi Lasante. Doriana was immediately admitted into the malnutrition treatment program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For almost a decade, Haiti has experienced an ever-deepening food security crisis, driven by violence related to armed groups, political upheaval and economic crisis. Additionally, the country is extremely vulnerable to the devastating effects of the climate crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly 52 per cent of the population are facing crisis levels of food insecurity, over half of these are children. Malnutrition is currently the leading cause of death for children under five in Haiti.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cParents can no longer provide care and nutrition to their children as a result of ongoing violence, extreme poverty, and a persistent economic crisis,\u201d said Geeta Narayan, a United Nations representative in Haiti. \u201cLife-saving actions, such as screening children at risk for wasting and stunting, and ensuring malnourished children have access to therapeutic treatment, are needed now to save children\u2019s lives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PWS&amp;D, through our partner Zanmi Lasante, is doing just that. By focusing on prevention, screening and free treatment, they are working to reduce avoidable malnutrition deaths and sustainably improve the nutritional status of the most at-risk children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doriana was immediately provided with specialized care. She received six days of intensive therapeutic feeding, followed by a transition phase to home care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"723\" data-id=\"7959\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image017.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image017.png 577w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image017-239x300.png 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"725\" data-id=\"7960\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image018.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image018.png 544w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image018-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"7961\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image019-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image019-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image019-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image019.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing that access to food remains an issue for many in Haiti, Doriana continued her recovery through follow-up outpatient care, as well as a supplementary nutrition program to ensure a full recovery. Dorian\u2019s mother, Dona, has took part in in-depth educational sessions on keys aspects of maternal and child health, including the principles of a balanced diet for both infants and mothers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the care she received, Doriana has now fully recovered from her malnutrition. Her story highlights the project\u2019s effectiveness and the importance of timely access to appropriate care for at-risk children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the ongoing food crisis in Haiti, and its devastating effect on children, this project is more essential than ever.
