Chacraseca, Nicaragua

Anamarie just received her first dose of vitamin A. She is here at the clinic in Chacraseca, Nicaragua with her mother, Llamile because she isn’t feeling well. Llamie, understandably concerned, thinks it’s another kidney infection and hopes the clinic will be able to help her daughter. Having taken prenatal vitamins throughout her pregnancy, Llamile understands the importance of good nutrition, though a balanced diet is not always available to the family, and wants the best for her daughter. She asks if we will continue to provide vitamins in her community. She has lived here her whole life. When asked what her hopes are for Anamarie, her mother tells us she wants her to be happy and healthy.
