We still need $35,215 to reach our $50,000 goal by this Friday (10/15). Donate to help us treat malnutrition and provide lifesaving care around the world. Give now.

Hi Friend,

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières‎ (MSF) teams around the world are seeing a rise in hunger in communities experiencing conflict, natural disasters, and COVID-19 outbreaks.

We know the best way to treat malnutrition is with ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), a nutrient-dense paste that can return a child from the brink of starvation with just one treatment. One of the most common is Plumpy'Nut, which consists of peanuts.

Each packet of Plumpy’Nut costs approximately 31 cents. That means just 31 cents can make a lifesaving difference for a young patient experiencing malnutrition. Think of how many lives you could help save with a tax-deductible gift of $50.

Plumpy’Nut is shelf-stable and ready to eat without the addition of water, making it the most efficient solution for treating malnutrition in remote areas where refrigeration is limited and clean water is in short supply.

The versatility of this treatment is invaluable in Madagascar, where a confluence of environmental factors—including the country’s worst drought in 30 years—have led to a devastating nutrition crisis, and in Afghanistan, where the recent transfer of power to the Taliban has led to a decrease in humanitarian aid, including much-needed food aid.

Reaching our $50,000 goal by this Friday, October 15, could help us provide essential medical care in more than 70 countries.

Please consider making a generous contribution today.
