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!
