Three-year-old Appana still has his soft baby cheeks and wispy baby hair. He is small-made for his age, one of the signs of the severe protein deficiency he faces.

When we first met Appana, he was playing in the mud outside his home, a blue tent in a settlement close to Diya Ghar.

Appana's story is heart-wrenching. His father works as a labourer but drains all his earnings on alcohol. Sometimes his mother, out of desperation has little choice but to beg on the streets.

At Diya Ghar, we know Appana to be a boy who is talented with art. We know him to be a boy who comes straight to eat snacks, especially when they are bananas.

We know Appana to be a boy with a bright future ahead of him! Support us to support more children like Appana!
