Technical Plant Manager Meds & Food for Kids (MFK) Haiti
Meds & Food for Kids (MFK) is dedicated to saving the lives of Haiti's malnourished children and other nutritionally vulnerable people. We accomplish our mission by developing, producing, and distributing highly nutritious foods, including the gold-standard, Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
We make our food products in Haiti, using Haitian workers and, whenever possible, Haitian raw materials. We call our RUTF “Medika Mamba” — or “Peanut Butter Medicine” in Creole. 1 By engaging in this holistic approach, MFK is addressing the root causes of poor nutrition and is building a sustainable future in Haiti. Children’s lives are saved, parents are employed, money stays in the local economy, and Haiti supports its own population. MFK is proud to be a member of Nutriset’s PlumpyField Network, an international network of independent producers of ready-?to-?use foods, like Plumpy’nut, used in the treatment and prevention of malnutrition.
