"I just couldn't bear the thought of my kids going to bed hungry, so knowing that 16,000 kids on this planet are at risk of dying of preventable causes right now because of hunger...it's keeping me up at night. So I had an idea."

The Power of Peanuts

Ready-to-use therapeutic food is fortified peanut butter that’s specifically designed to treat children with severe acute malnutrition. This high-energy, nutrient-rich food is typically a mixture of peanut butter, milk powder, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals, and can help a child recover from malnutrition within days.  

Right now, record shortages of this essential treatment threaten the survival of children suffering from acute malnutrition.

Just $67 can provide a full six-week course of this treatment, bringing one child from acute malnutrition to the chance of a healthy, thriving life.

In Kenya, one of the countries where Save the Children treats acute malnutrition cases, 18-month-old Ereng has just recovered from malnutrition with treatment from Community Health Promoter Charles, who was trained in basic healthcare by Save the Children. 

Lomanat and Daniel, Ereng’s parents, walked for several kilometres to reach Charles’ clinic. The family are pastoralists, but recent droughts have killed their livestock, and the family now has no sustainable income and no reliable food source. 

They know how important treatment is for children like Ereng, who gained 2.4 kgs (5.3 pounds) in two months once she started receiving nutrition treatment using the fortified peanut paste which has about 500 calories in each portion. 

Lomanat said: "Our child was in a very bad shape, and the doctor helped by giving her peanut paste. I am very happy, because she is cured."
