| 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 An example of how your donation can help: $50 pays for a box, which is the amount needed to save a life from malnutrition. This tour is for all ages. Please be aware that we will hear about the lives of the people Edesia’s products save and some of that information may be upsetting to some children. |
