For 15 years, Edesia Nutrition has been making life-saving foods like Plumpy'Nut, and at the same time, understood the critical importance of adding prevention into the conversation. We should never wait until children are near death to treat them. Changing the narrative is never easy but today was a GIANT first step. I sat in awe as an historic commitment of up to half a billion dollars was announced at the Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris today. Thank you to the Bezos family for understanding the importance of prevention. Commitments like this will allow us to continue to treat the most severe cases and at the same time scale-up prevention efforts so children never even need to go to the hospital. Children deserve better and this is what action looks like! “The need is so great that no one alone can meet the urgent nutrition needs of the world’s women and kids." said Mike Bezos. Thank you to the other foundations who stepped up tonight with epic, life-saving contributions, Aga Khan Development Network Children's Investment Fund Foundation The Rockefeller Foundation hosted by @Stronger Foundations for Nutrition #N4G #EndMalnutrition Navyn Salem (fb)

The U.S. cut key aid programs in Asia, prompting China to rush to fill the gap. If America continues to retreat, Beijing will take the lead. We've protected children and families for a century. We can’t let that legacy fall into China’s hands. #EdesiaNutrition #WeThePeople #EndHunger #Plumpynutsavelives (fb)
