Product Description

The UN’s Hunger Hotspots report highlights over 43 million people in 38 countries across the globe are now at risk of famine or a food crisis, unless they receive immediate life-saving support.

Almost half of global child deaths are linked to malnutrition and one in five children around the world suffer from wasting, which means they have a low weight for their height. There is a desperate need to invest in nutrition interventions that have lifelong effects.

The solution to save these children’s lives is simple. We are using a paste called Plumpy’Nut®, also known as Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food.

It’s a high-energy peanut paste containing sugar, vegetable oil and skimmed milk powder, and enriched with vitamins and minerals.
