Cathy was two years old when staff with FMSC partner African Children Today (ACT) first her. She was much too weak to walk; she couldn’t even stand. Cathy’s grandmother was worried that Cathy wasn’t growing properly, so she brought her granddaughter to ACT. The community of Rakai, Uganda, knows that ACT provides nutritious MannaPack® meals that have made a lifechanging difference for so many undernourished children. Cathy started eating the meals and quickly became stronger. Now, Cathy is thriving and active like the kid she was made to be! She dreams of becoming a teacher one day.

Richard Mutaawe, Programs Director for African Children Today speaks:
Friends, I am here standing with Rose and Frances.

When we first met them, their mother was walking from a government health center.

They tried to treat them, but they had given up,

and they had sent them to go back home.

On their way, she found a Good Samaritan who sent her to our office and told her there was medicine.

When she reached our office, we actually didn’t know what she meant. But she meant MannaPack meals.

And several years of them feeding on MannaPack Rice, they’re now at school. They’re active like any other children.

The MannaPack meals didn’t just give them life but are also giving them an opportunity to dream.

So, keep packing the meals because they’re saving lives but they’re also guaranteeing that these children are able to dream like any other children.
