The poster above seems to have 'got the wrong end of the stick' doesn't he?
Nourish the Children does not victimise starving children, what an odd conclusion!
Nourish the Children does, in point of fact, nourish them. We provide nourishing food, jobs, a market for local farmers and an ongoing environment of support for these children.
If you don't know about Nourish the Children, then please visit www.nourishthechildren.com or contact me for a proper explanation. I will be more than happy to explain to anyone who misunderstands or, like the poster above, thinks we victimise people. It is a shame to see misinformation posted about such a staggeringly successful organisation which is respected by all its partners, including the United Nations, World Vision, Feed the Children etc.
The groundswell of social and humanitatarian entrepreneurship which we see all around the world is very interested in the way we do things. Other countries in Africa are crying out for a Vitameal facility like the one we built for the people of malawi and handed over to them as a going concern. This plant feeds 24,000 children, provides 400 jobs, a market for the grain used has been created for 33,000 local farmers whose livelihoods had been all but destroyed by 'free' grain from the US and Europe putting them out of busines.
Find me one child in Malawi who finds Nourish the Children to be a scam and I will eat my words.
We have so far fed over 26,000,000 nourishing Vitameals to children suffering malnourishment and they seem quite pleased to be alive. The profit motive is what caused this to occur. Not a misguided belief that those who do good should not be rewarded.
Contact me if you have questions and I will be ahppy to help with FACTS. (You can have my opinions too if you desire!)
