For millions of children, food insecurity is a daily struggle. Nine-year-old Eddy* was one of them.

Before joining a feeding program through FMSC partners Feed the Hungry and Living Word Missions, hunger shaped every part of Eddy’s life He struggled to stay awake in class, suffered from headaches and fatigue, and lacked the energy to focus or play. Without dependable nutrition, the future felt bleak.

That all changed when Eddy began receiving MannaPack® Mix meals. His strength returned. His headaches faded, his energy soared and, for the first time in a long time, he could focus in school. Today, Eddy is thriving — healthy, engaged and eager to learn.

MannaPack Mix is one of FMSC’s meal formulas designed to combat malnutrition. It contains the same essential nutrients, soy protein and dehydrated vegetables as MannaPack Rice — but without the rice! Instead, FMSC partners purchase a locally sourced grain to complete the meal.

FMSC worked with Feed the Hungry to determine if MannaPack Mix was the right fit for their programs in Chad. Some partners don’t have reliable sources of grain in-country, while other face logistical or storage challenges. FMSC works closely with each partner to determine the best meal solution for their needs. The flexibility and efficiency of MannaPack Mix helps partners stretch resources further — providing more meals and investing in the local economy. That means more children like Eddy get the nutrition they need to grow, learn and thrive.
