The superfood that saves lives
Peanuts are known as a superfood that can give a boost of nutrition and energy. In many places like Somaliland, it is also an effective treatment for malnutrition.
This compact ready-to-use therapeutic food is effectively used by healthcare workers as a critical medical intervention to help save the lives of children threatened by this deadly condition. The benefits are many: Each sachet is packed with protein, vitamins and minerals – filled with 500 calories of high nutrient peanut paste.
After a few days of treatment with peanut paste, strength returns to wasted muscles. It can bring back a child from the brink of deadly hunger towards better health and greater energy.
It’s ready to eat, without need for cooking or keeping in the fridge. And for families living in remote areas who require long travel to get to health centres, it’s a convenient and effective way to defeat malnutrition from home.
Helping save the life of a child
From Somaliland, Kenya, Syria and many other places around the world affected by climate emergencies and conflict, peanut paste is a total lifesaver for children like Abdi*, Ereng* and Hamza*.
