This photograph by World Food Programme photographer Maria Smentak is a great illustration of the imact of this campaign in action. This mother fled, with her family in tow, from the conflict of her native country of the Central African Republic and is now living in the Timangolo refugee camp in Cameroon. She is carrying a month's supply of nutritious Plumpy'Sup, produced at Edesia in Rhode Island, back to her children. The World Food Program reports that more than 23,000 children who were suffering from acute and moderate malnutirion upon their arrival to Cameroon have been treated with these specialized nutritious foods and brought back to a healthy weight. In addition another 30,000 children under the age of 5 are receiving nutritious food supplements to prevent them from becoming malnourished in the first place. Thank you for making a difference and extending life-saving support to those who need it most.
Children are one of the most vulnerable populations in conflict zones, and your contribution has helped them get through those tough times. Because of you they have the opportunity to grow to their full potential and go on to lead fulfilling productive lives.
