The Maní+ Project offers an innovative and holistic approach to combating chronic malnutrition in Guatemala while providing economic development opportunities for rural farmers in communities affected by malnutrition.

We have developed a locally-sourced and nutrient rich supplementary food customized to the specific nutritional needs of Guatemalan children. Our Ready To Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) is accompanied by a culturally-appropriate educational model and programs to help farmers produce high-value products for new markets. 

Our model is based on financial sustainability through sales at affordable prices, with surplus revenues invested in expansion and new product development.

The Maní+ Project is the result of a collaborative effort between NutriPlus S.A., the Instituto de Nutrición de Centroamérica y Panamá (INCAP) and the Shalom Foundation, with support from Vanderbilt University, Funcafé, the Full Belly Project, Valid Nutrition, and others.
