Health is a fundamental human right, and there are many positive developments in global health that offer hope for a healthier and more equitable world. According to the World Health Organization, global life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years since 1950, and maternal and child mortality rates have declined significantly in many countries. There have also been major advances in medical research and technology, with new treatments and cures being developed for a range of diseases and conditions. In addition, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of preventative health, with many countries implementing public health campaigns and policies to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in improving global health outcomes, and that there is hope for a future where all people have access to the health care and support they need to thrive.

Project Peanut Butter

Across the world, severe acute malnutrition is the largest killer of children under 5 years of age, contributing to nearly half of all childhood deaths (more than 3 million children per year). We produce peanut based ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) locally in factories in Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Ghana. Our factories are internationally accredited by UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, and the World Food Program, and our product is considered the standard of care worldwide for severely malnourished children. We strive to use as many local ingredients and staff as possible. In addition, we distribute the therapeutic food at our own mobile clinics, where PPB nurses assess children for malnutrition and provide qualifying children with life-saving food at no charge.

During these twelve years, community participation has been the axis of our work, guiding projects according to necessities, experiences and social, political and climatic realities of each community. We have collaborated with over 30 projects and generated investment for community infrastructure. We believe that communities have the right to imagine, co-design and co-create the spaces we inhabit.
