Description

We accomplish our mission by developing, producing, and distributing nutritious foods, including the gold standard Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). We make our food products in Haiti, using Haitian workers, and whenever possible, Haitian raw materials. Haitians call our RUTF "Medika Mamba," meaning "Peanut Butter Medicine" in Creole. Our goal is 'Alive at Five': to ensure that children remain well nourished and healthy through the toddler years, giving them a chance for normal growth and development into adulthood.
