malnourished children. It comes in ready-to-eat packets and is

bursting with energy, protein and all the goodness children need to

recover from malnutrition.

Each packet is a meal for a starving child. Just 3 packets a day for

3-4 weeks is enough to get a malnourished child back to a healthy

a piece of fruit.
