Last Update: January 26, 2011
On December 7, MANA signed a lease on a facility in Kigali, Rwanda. The company is in the process of installing enough production capacity to produce at least 500 metric tons of MANA each year, or enough nutritive aid to serve at least 30,000 children per year. MANA expects to start production by mid-2011.
MANA is peanut butter paste/ nutrition in a foil pack to address severe acute malnutrition in children. MANA is centered around empowering mothers to feed their children appropriate therapeutic foods to redress malnutrition. This non-profit is starting with a production facility in Rwanda, but while that is being developed they are sending the packets by container from the U.S.
