Alia is the founder and president of Plump'd, a UK-registered charity dedicated to fighting child hunger. It sends Plumpy'Nut to starving and malnourished children in humanitarian crises and conflict zones.

Plumpy'Nut is a nutrient-enriched peanut paste used to treat emergency malnutrition cases. It comes ready-to-eat in a 500-calorie packet and doesn’t require cooking, refrigeration, milk or water.

Since its founding in 2012, Plump'd has sent Plumpy'Nut to:

  • children living with HIV in rural areas of Tanzania

  • children in one of the areas hardest-hit by the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone

  • children caught up in the war and humanitarian crisis in Aleppo and Idlib, Syria

  • children confronting conflict, cholera and famine in Yemen

  • children fleeing  the besieged Tigray region in Ethiopia

  • children on the brink of famine in Somalia. 

Plump'd is run by volunteers and operates a 100 % donation policy: every cent donated goes towards buying and delivering Plumpy'Nut. Nothing else.
