Thank you so much for continuing to support our project to get lifesaving therapeutic and supplementary food to the Central African Republic where daily life continues to be stressful and precarious, especially for young children.
Today, I wanted to share with you a video that shows cartons of Plumpy'Sup made by Edesia being unloaded from a truck in Bangui for delivery at a children's health clinic, where Doctors Without Borders is working in partnership with the World Food Programme.
In 2014, we have sent 46,251 cartons of Plumpy'Sup to the Central African Republic. This number doesn't include the cartons we have shipped to Cameroon to help meet the needs of malnourished children from CAR living in refugee camps. That amount is enough to treat approximately 115,627 children.
We have also shipped about 2,740 cartons of Plumpy'Nut, enough to bring 2,740 severely malnourished children back to life and good health in about 7 weeks.
Our factory in Providence, Rhode Island is working around the clock to keep up with the demand for Plumpy'Nut and Plumpy'Sup. Thank you for recognizing the urgency and for continuing to partner with us to bring health and hope to the most vulnerable among us.
