The Malnutrition Crisis Project Peanut Butter is primarily focused on bringing relief to the small African country of Malawi. In this peaceful, land-locked country of 14 million people, 85% of adults are subsistence farmers, and 70% of all children are malnourished. This is because they are fed a low-nutrient diet of corn paste, the only food available in rural Malawi for much of the year. Until recently, 23% of Malawi’s children died before their fifth birthdays. Project Peanut Butter is making a difference. We are starting operations in Sierra Leone, the country with the world's most devastating child mortality rate, at 28%.

Half of all child deaths worldwide are caused by malnutrition. |
