This article is about Oscar, a three-year-old boy from Luiza in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who was diagnosed with acute malnutrition during a community health screening. His father, Stéphane, was devastated, fearing he wouldn’t be able to provide the medical care his son needed. In a region where healthcare is expensive and incomes are low, he had lost all hope until community health workers intervened and directed him to a local health center. Thanks to a project funded by KOICA and implemented by World Vision through the World Food Programme (WFP), Oscar received free treatment with Plumpy’Nut. Stéphane also received seeds, farming tools, and rabbits to start a small agricultural activity. This support led to Oscar’s recovery and gave the family a sustainable source of food and income.
