What has more than 660,000 servings of PhytoBlend powder and recently cleared customs in Rwanda? Our shipment for 5,000 children, of course!
We are so excited to partner with Children’s Hunger Fund to help these children who desperately need nourishment. We look forward to hearing more about how our real food-based nutrition has impacted the lives of these 5,000 kids.
Check out the video that Children’s Hunger Fund made for us with a special message from their founder and president, Dave Phillips.
A quick Google search reveals that an estimated 16,000 people (mostly children) die every day due to hunger. A recent spike in food prices has only exacerbated the crisis.
Forget the chart. We’ve seen the need in the hungry eyes and skinny bodies of children around the world. Growing boys (and girls) like Davidson (below) need more than volume at meal time. They need nutrition and, thanks to MannaRelief, what Davidson is holding is way more than your average pile of rice and beans. MannaRelief is giving vitamins and supplements, which are mixed with food at mealtime, to children in need around the world… to children living in GO Project partner-led villages in Haiti.
MannaRelief exists to help “children get access to essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that provide the necessary support they need…”
Thank you, MannaRelief, and thank you GO Project family, for all you do to enrich the lives of God’s children with more than just rice and beans.
Here at MannaRelief, we imagine a world where malnutrition is no longer an issue for children of all ages in every nation. Our goal is to supply 5 million children with proper nutritional support. Despite difficult economic times, we have held fast over the last year, working towards our vision as we continue to provide essential nutrients to children all over the globe. We know that food is not enough—that’s why we’re adamant about seeing our vision become a reality.

We’ll keep you posted on exciting happenings as we venture into this New Year!
South Africa is commonly known for its high poverty levels and orphaned children who struggle daily with the devastating effects of malnutrition.
Here at MannaRelief, we see opportunity where others see devastation. Thousands of children in South Africa have experienced the benefits of proper nutritional support that we were privileged to provide in the past decade, but our last shipment was unique.
For the first time, we are able to provide children in South Africa with our new vitamin and mineral enriched complex called PhytoBlend powder. This standardized blend is the only nutritional complex based on Real Food Technology® solutions designed specifically to fight childhood malnutrition.
In July 2011, we sent more than 185,000 servings of PhytoBlend powder to 976 children in South Africa. In just a few short months, children have been given the hope that proper nutrition can provide. Caregivers are blown away by the changes they are seeing in their children.
Malnutrition is defined as the condition that develops when the body does not receive the right amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients it needs to maintain healthy tissues and organ function. At any given moment, more than 500 million children in the world are affected by malnutrition. Undernutrition contributes to over half of the 9.7 million deaths of children under the age of five each year. We believe that our nutritious PhytoBlend™ powder can be life-changing for these millions of children. In 2010, we began sending PhytoBlend powder around the world to meet the needs of thousands of children. In the years to come, as we continue to send out PhytoBlend powder, we expect the number of children affected by malnutrition to fall drastically.
When we dream at MannaRelief, we dream big. Our dream to see millions of children around the world receive proper nutrition is a huge dream and honestly, we can’t succeed without your help. You may feel that the goal is too big or you may be unsure of how you can help. Don’t worry. There’s a way you can make a huge difference; the spare change sitting on your coffee table can change a child’s life. Just $0.08 a day provides a daily serving of PhytoBlend powder to a child in need.
Together, one child at a time, we will see malnutrition decline as children around the world receive the benefits of daily nutrition!
