Benita’s Story

Benita’s mother passed away after complications in childbirth and her father has never been in her life. Benita’s grandmother took responsibility for her and she loves her very much. Unfortunately, Jajja (grandma) was not able to provide Benita with the nutritious food, medical attention or other basic needs she needed to thrive as a baby.  When PFP found Benita, she was had been hospitalized with severe malnutrition along with malaria and meningitis. It was at this point, PFP stepped in to help Jaja care for Benita. Jaja will continue to provide the love and emotional support Benita so desperately needs but Benita’s sponsor through PFP will come alongside her to ensure that all of her basic needs are met. Together, we will all ensure Benita not only survives, but thrives!
