| Description | THIS TOUR IS IN A FACILITY THAT USES PEANUTS. ANYONE WITH A NUT ALLERGY SHOULD NOT ATTEND. Edesia is a 501(c)3 nonprofit social enterprise that was founded in 2009 (by a Rhode Islander) to help treat and prevent malnutrition in the world’s most vulnerable populations. A dedicated team of more than 100 people at Edesia produces enough nutrient-dense ready-to-use foods (RUFs) to help transform the lives of over 2 million malnourished children each year. Edesia’s fortified, shelf-stable foods are distributed through humanitarian agencies such as UNICEF, the World Food Programme, USAID/USDA, and others working in emergency and resource-poor settings. Edesia's ready-to-use foods provide evidence-based nutritional solutions for children 6-59 months, pregnant and lactating women, schoolchildren, and adults living with HIV/AIDS. Our visit to Edesia will include an overview of how their products help the world and a visit to their factory! Link to Edible Rhody article from 2018. This tour is free but we highly encourage each family to bring a cash donation of some sort. Edesia's mission saves lives. Here is a small box template that you could print for your family to use if they'd like to gather coins or bills. Donation Box to Print |
