How does International Medical Corps help hungry children?

For severely malnourished children, we offer a step-by-step treatment program that gives them what they need to recover, including nutrient-dense food supplements like the peanut-based product, Plumpy'Nut. Our comprehensive monitoring system saves more than 90 percent of children being treated in our feeding centers.

Vote for the “Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children” project today and help provide even more funds to help end global hunger.
