ACTIVITY TITLE: Case Analysis
CASE STORY TITLE: The Children of Sitio Mabolon

Conflict Identification
The children of Sitio Mabolon face numerous health challenges due to insufficient food and
nutrition. Twenty-two children suffer from malnutrition, specifically, marasmus and kwashiorkor,
caused by a lack of appetite. Limited access to government welfare services and minimal
assistance from non-government organizations exacerbate the situation. Additionally, a shortage
of professional medical support leaves many children untreated, compounded by the pervasive
poverty that restricts access to a balanced diet beyond what their gardens can provide.
Plan of Action
The government is responsible for prioritizing the welfare of its citizens, particularly
children, as highlighted by the case of Sitio Mabolon. Immediate action is crucial to prevent the
situation from being exacerbated in this and similar remote areas. Collaborating with
organizations like UNICEF can provide valuable aid to alleviate the challenges faced by these
communities. Additionally, local initiatives such as cultivating fruits and vegetables can improve
nutrition, while parents must ensure their children's well-being and food security.
Reflection
The article on Sitio Mabolon prompts reflection on the widespread need for assistance in
other villages facing similar challenges. It emphasizes the urgency for governments to prioritize
public health concerns and address issues of poverty globally. Malnutrition affects countless
children worldwide, often exacerbated by inadequate government support. To combat this,
investments in healthcare infrastructure and feeding programs and support for non-
governmental organizations aiding impoverished communities are essential.
