Advocacy & Awareness
In addition to accepting your donations NOW online (every dollar counts), we are planning on creating a host of other tools and advocacy outlets in the days and weeks ahead for this cause.  If just a small (1%) percentage of the United States or worldwide Food Aid budget went to emergency food like PlumpyNut, the worst cases of malnutrition could be virtually eliminated around the world.  We need ALL PEOPLE and ALL HANDS (including children) on deck.  Every skill and gift you have can be put to use for this cause for us to create widespread awareness of the miraculous benefits of PlumpyNut.  Stay tuned for the next steps and please consider GIVING TODAY to this cause.

  Created by Nutriset and advocated by the Nobel Prize winning Doctors Without Borders, PlumpyNut is a modern day miracle food for kids in crisis.  A simple combination of locally grown peanut butter mixed with powdered milk and a vitamin pack, PlumpyNut is the contemporary equivalent of penicilin and is preventing needless death throughout the world with children that will die if we don't help.  It can be stored safely for months, needs no refrigeration or clean water, and is actually well-liked by children.  A three-week supply of PlumpyNut is often all that it takes to turn a child away from being the living dead to giving them a new lease on life (see the video...it's amazing).

The total cost to rescue one child is
just about $20. 


The Crisis...
It's hard to believe, but living, breathing, precious babies are dying because of starvation.  They have nothing to eat. Period. Their mothers cannot produce milk.  The water is filthy.  Crops are gone and all that's left to eat is birdseed (see the video) - which has nearly no nutritional value.  These kids don't need rice.  They don't need clothes.  They don't need Bibles.  They need EMERGENCY FOOD to save them from the brink of death. PlumpyNut is an emergency miracle food for kids and is saving them from senseless death.
