  How Lily recovered from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) | UNICEF Papua New Guinea

She’s been sick for a long time. She was losing weight rapidly and her clothes were too big for her to wear so her mother and I asked the village tailor to have her clothes altered so she could fit into them,”Lily’s father, Sual Dimino, explains in Tok Pisin, the local dialect. “Within two weeks of eating the peanut butter paste, my daughter started gaining weight and now her clothes can’t fit her again. Everyone in the village sees the difference in her and they keep asking me what I feed her. (...) Since starting her treatment on February 4, Lily’s weight increased from just over 14 kilograms to close to 19 kilograms in under four weeks.
