Children Can't Wait

2025 began with stop work orders, the dismantling of USAID, our factory floor quiet, thousands of boxes stuck in warehouses, and millions of children at risk of starvation.

After the initial shock, we began to fight, and launched our Children Can’t Wait campaign. Thousands of donors stood with us, turning generosity into survival.

We found new partners, built coalitions, and delivered our life-saving food to the last mile.

So Many Children Are Still Waiting

Thanks to the incredible support of thousands of donors across the globe, our Children Can’t Wait campaign hit our $1 million goal in December, ensuring another 20,000 children get access to the treatment they need to survive. The need is still great – and we aren’t stopping.

We must keep fighting for the world’s most vulnerable. We must keep taking action.

Our humanitarian aid partners on the ground are requesting urgent support to meet the critical nutritional needs of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Uganda.

Where Do We Start?

With you. With one life, one box, one pallet, one hour, one shift, one truckload at a time.

With your help, we will continue to deliver life-saving Plumpy’Nut to children who truly can’t wait.

Just $50 provides a full treatment – one box of Plumpy’Nut – and saves the life of one child.

Every dollar you contribute keeps the production lines running, the shipments moving, and children alive.

Take Action Today

  • $50 = 1 Box = 1 child saved
