Project Peanut Butter

Project Peanut Butter (PPB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to treating severe acute malnutrition in children through the local production and distribution of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Founded by Dr. Mark Manary, the organization operates manufacturing facilities in sub-Saharan Africa to provide effective, peanut-based nutritional therapy. PPB combines clinical research with humanitarian aid to improve recovery rates for malnourished children in resource-limited settings. Their model emphasizes local sourcing and community-based management of acute malnutrition, establishing RUTF as a global standard of care.
