This story is about Vivian, a young mother in South Sudan, and her baby Shushu who became very sick from malnutrition. After losing her husband, Vivian struggled to take care of her children. Shushu was treated with medicine but did not get better until she started receiving the Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) at a nutrition center.
