What are the details concerning this individual's impact story with FMSC food?

Despite various interventions and commendable progress in identifying children living with HIV, initiate them on treatment, and ensuring continuity of care remain major challenges among the children. This was the case of a 4-year old child; Owen Bondo from Mbets village, Traditional Authority Chiseka in Lilongwe district. The child was born on 23rd June, 2021 and was diagnosed with HIV, 3 months later in September, 2021 and was initiated on Art. He was enrolled into ART Treatment program on December, 2024 since he had high viral load of 911,000 copies and subsequent viral load result in January, 2025 also indicated unsuppressed viral load of 260,625 copies. Adding to this, he had also issues with his developmental milestones since he was stunted with frequent severe illness. This was also compounded with lack of proper care and food as well since his mother had mental issues and could not manage to get medication at Mitundu Community hospital. A joint case conference was convened with ACE Organization, ANAPA organization, Lilongwe Catholic Health Commission, Lighthouse and Ministry of Health staff and the father of the child to review the case. The main drivers of unsuppressed viral load from the case conference were poor ART adherence. This was due to food insecurity at the household and the caregiver was not giving the child drugs when he did not take food. From the case conferences findings, ACE supported the household with emergency food support comprising of Manna packs made of rice and Poteto D. Further, the caregiver was linked to Intensive Adherence Counselling (IAC) sessions by Lighthouse for ART literacy, adherence support and growth monitoring for the child while After slightly over 2 months of proper nutritious food (Mana pack) and drug uptake, adherence support, the child suppressed his viral load from 260,625 copies to <30 copies. Through Manapack support from USA and joint PSS support from ACE and Catholic Health Commission, the child has achieved positive health outcomes.
