Celebrating Hortense, another precious child living free from hunger!

Celebrating Hortense, another precious child living free from hunger!

When conflict came to their village in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 4-year-old Hortense and her grandma were forced to flee their home. Hortense was severely malnourished, and she and her grandma were struggling to survive.

Because of compassionate New Zealanders like you, Bénédicte, a World Vision nutritionist, was checking in on children. She saw Hortense and immediately helped her to receive life-saving food and treatment.

Today, Hortense is healthy – look at that smile! Over the last 10 years, 9 out of 10 severely malnourished kids treated through World Vision have made a full recovery. Thanks to the kindness of people like you.
