(rooster crows) since 2004, project peanut butter has been treating children in malawi, a country with one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. (speaking native languguage) second narrator: as a faculty member at washington university medical school, dr. manary founded project peanut butter to bring the most effective

malnutrition therapy to the children who need it most. alefa is 7 months old. she is just entering the critical 6-month-to-two-year-old window where children are most vulnerable to the impact of malnutrition. jason: alefa is, uh, severely malnourished and, um, (unclear), as you can see from the extremely small arms. second narrator: severely malnourished children at this age are at great risk. untreated, more than half will die. pilirani is two years old. severely malnourished kids often swell up with edema, a painful build-up of fluid under the skin. pilirani's swelling is so severe he can barely walk. until recently, the best treatment available for pilirani

and alefa was one to two months of hospitalization. but even in the best rural hospitals, only 2525% to 40% of children fully recover. project peanut t butter gets much better results by distributing a special ready-to-use theraputic food to the mothers who will take it with them and treat their own children at home. ready-to-use theraputic food is powerful medicine. this peanut-based formula is effective, easy to use, and empowers mothers. and most kids love it. it's more than just peanut butter. over years of careful experiments and testing, d dr. manary and his colleagues developed a new formula. it's a precise blend ideal for bringing children back from the edge of starvation. the results are dramatic. 6 weeks

after their first visit, alefa and pilirani return for one of their check-ups. jason: what we've seen over the course of the last 6 weeks has been, uh, really good progress. so, we''re hopopeful that she'll come completely up to a healthy weight with this check. (womoman speaking native langua) second narrator: after 6 weeks of treatment, pilirani is on a promising path. he is now likely to remain healthy and avoid lingering consequences. dr. manary: 95% of these children are recovering. 95%. that is really something powerful. (singing in native language) second narrator: and this success rate comes at a fraction of the old therapy's cost.

today, saving one child costs the project a total of about $25. projectct peanut butter has an ambitious vision: to save over 2 million children from severe malnutrition by 2015. woman: i wish project peanut butter would grow like a (unclear) tree, which is (unclear) and grows big, big, big, big and biggegest. so it cn reach every needy child. second narrator: you can make a difference. please, go to projectpeanutbutter.org. learn more about this urgent, life-saving work. remember,
