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.

    Biblically evil, starving children and families around the world. Defubding programs that fight disease. I’d give my entire life just to lunch this dude square in the dick.
