Alia is the founder 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.
