At 19 months old in Uganda, Jascent was a vulnerable child in the care of her great-grandmother. Despite her great-grandmother’s best efforts, Jascent was showing the signs of malnutrition: yellowing brittle hair, rough skin and weakness.

Then everything changed.

Because of a generous gift, Jascent began to receive daily MannaPack® meals and the results were more than just the incredible healing of her body.

She could laugh.

She could play.

She could learn.

And she still is growing and thriving today with the continued help of FMSC food.

A year is 365 days. That's 365 chances to grow. Our MannaPack meals have the nutrients and calories needed for kids suffering from malnutrition to return to health. There are so many Jascents in the world that just need to be given the chance to grow.

You can help kids like Jascent dream big by providing the essential nutrition and stable food they need to succeed. This Christmas, your donation of $106 feeds one child a daily meal for an entire year and to say thank you, we want to gift you a heart ornament. These ornaments are handmade by artisans in Uganda and Eswatini to help brighten your tree and remind us that even as hunger rises, hope does, too.

Will you be the reason that a child survives and thrives this year?
