Nonprofit That Produces Lifesaving Food For Kids Has Federal Contracts Reinstated (UPDATE)

An estimated 300,000 children globally were expected to lose access to a nutrient-dense peanut butter that’s specially formulated to treat severe acute malnutrition.

Summary

The federal government has reinstated USAID contracts with Mana, a Georgia nonprofit that produces ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) for malnourished children.

The contracts, initially cut as part of the Trump’s cost-saving measures, affect food aid to 300,000 children in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Madagascar, and Nigeria.

The reversal came after public outcry and Elon Musk was personally blamed. Mana’s CEO called the situation chaotic, comparing it to a “yo-yo.”

A similar contract with Rhode Island-based Edesia was also restored.

    I pointed and laughed at a cybertruck today. It didn’t fix anything, but it was custom painted and I couldn’t help it. My therapist keeps telling me to find joy in the little things.
