Malnutrition takes the lives of five million children every year–the equivalent of one child every six seconds, according to a story by _60 Minutes_. In the West African country of Niger, the problem is so acute that “most mothers have watched at least one of their children die.” To address the issue, the Nobel Prize-winning relief group has come up with an inexpensive remedy. “Plumpynut” is being called “the most important advance ever to cure and prevent malnutrition.” The simple vitamin-enriched concoction is made of peanut butter, powdered milk, and powdered sugar. A daily dose costs just one dollar. In a land with no electricity for refrigeration and little clean water to mix with powdered milk, Plumpynut is proving to be a lifesaver.
