Malnutrition: How to Fight it?
8
All around the world there are still
200+ million starving children
For the past 80 years, the treatment of malnutrition had
been the domain of doctors and nurses. Sick children
were admitted for several weeks to hospital tents and
health centers that were often crowded and
understaffed. This in-patient approach was expensive,
labor-intensive, and created a number of practical
problems. Most importantly, recovery rates with this
approach were just 25-40%.
Nutrition Packs can dramatically change this
The development of nutrition packs has revolutionized
the treatment of malnutrition. As highly fortified,
nutrient dense pastes made from grains, nuts, seeds,
milk powder, sugar, oil, vitamins, and minerals, nutrition
packs are ready to eat straight from the package. They
are precooked, portable, and do not require water for
preparation or refrigeration for preservation.

Nutrition Packs: a Solution that Works
9
Nutrition packs are revolutionary treatments for severe
and chronic malnutrition.
Known as Ready-to-Use Food (RUF), these nutrition packs
have been endorsed by the World Health Organization and
treat chronic and severely malnourished children with up
to 95% success rates.
In cases of severe malnutrition, children who do not
receive proper treatment usually die. In cases of moderate
or chronic malnutrition, untreated children usually grow
up physically and mentally stunted, are vulnerable to
infectious diseases, and are unable to be productive
members of their communities.
More importantly, RUF have shifted the treatment of
hungry children from doctors in hospitals to a community-based
model focused on mothers in homes. Despite their
success, however, nutrition packs reach just 3% of the
hungry children who need them.
Two Degrees will bridge this gap! How?

Global Impact Food Company Two Degrees
10
Two Degrees’ idea? Simple, yet game-changing.
Two Degrees is the first food company to adopt the one-for-one business model of social giving: for
every one bar sold, it donates one medically-formulated nutrition pack or a meal to a child.
Two Degrees’ food bars are crafted with real food, toasted nuts and seeds, and topped with wholesome
grains. They are all-natural, gluten-free, vegan, GMO free, low sodium, and under 200 calories, and
currently come in four flavors: Chocolate Peanut, Cherry Almond, Apple Pecan, and Chocolate Banana.
They are GOOD, and do GOOD.
So, why Two Degrees?
Because everyone can be only two degrees away from the malnourished child he/she supports!
Over 1,000,000 Meals Donated! (Since founded in 2010)
