"Food shortages and logistical challenges can have a negative impact on the the nutritional status of the children in the area. Therefore, WFP ensures that the stocks of the ready-to-use nutrient supplement - Plumpy’ Sup - are regularly refilled in the warehouse and ready for distribution as soon as needed."
It's not often that we at Edesia get to see where our ready-to-use food products go after they are shipped out of our warehouse in Rhode Island, because they are traveling so far to the hardest to reach regions of our world. But the World Food Programme recently posted a story and photographs from the Central African Republic (you can see it by clicking on the link below). There were many photos showing Edesia's efforts at work - the Plumpy'Sup sachets we made are now safely in a warehouse in Bossangoa, in the Ouham prefecture of Central African Republic.
I wanted to share this story and these photos with you as well, since you have been so committed to helping us reach as many children as possible in the Central African Republic. Plumpy'Sup, by the way, is very similar to Plumpy'Nut, but is made with soy flour instead of milk powder. It has the same power to help rehabilitate a severely malnourished child, because it contains the perfect balance of 40 vitamins and minerals, fats, carbs, and proteins a child needs to get better.
Thank you again for your generous giving. We appreicate your support and also the attention you give to this very important cause.
