Mohamed is 18 months old. He should be learning new words, playing, growing, and getting into everything. Instead, he is fighting severe acute malnutrition and supplies of Plumpy'Nut have run out. These supply chains are the difference between life and death.

Donate at the link in our bio to help us reach Mohamed and every other child that enters the clinics in Sierra Leone.

On this World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate all of the fearless, tireless humans who are part of this life-saving chain; from healthcare workers to nurses, to logistics coordinators to truck drivers. To every person who carries a box, crosses a border, or walks the last mile to make that journey to reach a child: thank you.

We need more Peters in the world. For his 80th birthday, Peter could have asked for just about anything. Instead, he asked his family to tour Edesia. To learn about the fight against malnutrition. And to donate in lieu of gifts, so more children could receive lifesaving nutrition. Happy 80th Birthday, Peter! Thank you for celebrating with us, and for helping more children get the chance to celebrate birthdays of their own. ❤️

Join Peter's celebration: You don't need a birthday to give like Peter did. Make a gift today in honor of his 80th, and help us reach more children with the nutrition they need to survive and thrive. 🎂

Every 11 seconds, a child dies from severe malnutrition. That's not just a statistic. It's a child. Their future. A family whose world changes forever. A gift of $50 provides one box of Plumpy'Nut—enough to save one child's life. Will you help us find a way?

It's easy to celebrate what's been built. It's harder to remember what it looked like before anyone else could see the vision. This photo was taken in 2015, before a single wall had been raised. Today, this hallowed ground has helped nourish more than 30 million children.

More (very) soon. 🤍

to the story that changed everything.

On the night of October 21, 2007, from her living room, Navyn Salem watched Anderson Cooper's 60 Minutes report on Plumpy'Nut, a simple peanut-based food helping severely malnourished children recover in just weeks. She saw children come back to life, a problem the world already knew how to solve, and a solution that gave her hope.

That night sparked a journey to understand malnutrition and, ultimately, build Edesia Nutrition. What began in a guest bedroom in Rhode Island has grown into a factory that has reached over 30 million children in more than 65 countries with lifesaving nutrition.

When Edesia opened in 2010, we became the first Plumpy'Nut producer in the United States where we also source all of our raw materials.

It all started with one story, one packet, and one belief: There are many problems in this world we cannot solve. Malnutrition is not one of them.

This Independence Day, we’re celebrating something that has always made America extraordinary: our generosity.

As America celebrates 250 years, we're inviting our supporters to give $250 in honor of our nation's birthday. Your gift will help get lifesaving nutrition for children who need it most. Because this is what America looks like at its best. Compassion that crosses oceans. Innovation that saves lives. Farmers, factory workers, donors, and supporters united by one simple belief: every child deserves the chance to grow up.

Every packet of lifesaving food we make begins right here at home. The peanuts, milk powder, and other ingredients come from hardworking American farmers who help nourish children half a world away. Their harvests become hope for families facing the impossible.

Together, let's show the world what American generosity can do. Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Thirty years ago, Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) changed the future for millions of children.

This week, our summer intern, Alice, helped celebrate that milestone at a UNICEF USA reception in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she spoke eloquently about how her life was saved by RUTF and carried the nickname Plumpy'Nut when she was just 2 years old.

She also met with members of Congress, including Representatives Gabe Amo and Seth Magaziner, who have been steadfast champions for children facing malnutrition around the world.

Here's to the next 30 years of innovation, advocacy, and saving lives. 🤍
