One Packet Can Save a Life
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a miracle in a packet — a peanut-based paste that can bring a severely malnourished child back from the brink in just weeks.
The Crisis
45 million children under five are wasting away
Malnutrition is the underlying cause of nearly half of all deaths in children under five. That's not a distant statistic — it's 3 million young lives lost every year because they simply didn't have enough of the right food at the right time.
Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is the most dangerous form. A child with SAM is nine times more likely to die than a well-nourished child. Their immune system collapses, their organs begin to fail, and without treatment, many don't survive.
But here's what most people don't know: SAM is treatable. With a simple, shelf-stable packet of therapeutic food called RUTF, a child can recover in as little as 6–8 weeks — at home, without hospitalisation.
"RUTF has saved more lives than any single medical intervention in the history of nutrition."
— UNICEF

What is RUTF?
A miracle in a 92-gram packet
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food is a high-energy, nutrient-dense paste made from peanuts, sugar, oil, and fortified with vitamins and minerals. It requires no water, no refrigeration, and no cooking — making it perfect for remote communities with limited infrastructure.
A single packet contains 500 calories and all the micronutrients a severely malnourished child needs. Three packets a day for 6–8 weeks is typically enough to bring a child from the brink of death to full recovery.
The cost? Around $0.50 per packet. That means a full course of treatment — enough to save a child's life — costs roughly $65. It's one of the most cost-effective life-saving interventions that exists.

The Impact
What your purchase provides
Immediate Nutrition
Each RUTF packet delivers 500 calories of dense, life-saving nutrition. No water, no cooking, no refrigeration needed — just tear, squeeze, and feed.
Full Recovery
With a 90% recovery rate, RUTF is the gold standard for treating severe acute malnutrition. Most children recover fully within 6–8 weeks of treatment.
Community Treatment
RUTF enables community-based treatment — mothers can treat their children at home instead of travelling to distant hospitals. This keeps families together.
