Help Treat Child Malnutrition Today
IRC uses a streamlined approach involving ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), which contains fortified peanut butter, milk, sugar, vitamins and minerals, that allows us to reach more malnourished children in the most challenging environments.
It’s easy to distribute, tastes good to children and — most importantly — puts them on the path to health. Standard treatment requires a child to eat ~2 packets/day for 8 weeks. It's fast, and more importantly, it's effective.
Our response to hunger crises is only possible thanks to the generosity of IRC supporters. You can make a difference by donating today. For example, just $72 is enough to provide nutritious food for one child being treated for malnutrition to make a full recovery.
Answer: For most children, it takes about two months of treatment for a child to fully recover.
