Plumpy Nut is a powerful peanut-based paste with skimmed milk powder, sugar, vegetable fat, vitamins and minerals. Kids love it. And it can be the difference between their life and death. In places hit hard by hunger and malnutrition it's been a game changer for humanitarian organisations like Save the Children and the way they treat severely malnourished children. http://www.savethechildren.org.au/about-us/media-and-publications/latest-news/years/20-years-of-saving-lives
We throw away vast amounts of stuff-even things with almost nothing wrong, and which could get a new lease on life after a simple repair.

Thankyou is the winner of Anthill's Cool Company Awards 2016. The idea was born out the observation that over 900 million people didn?t have access to safe drinking water on a daily basis, yet the Australian bottled water industry was worth an estimated $600 million a year. The social enterprise started with a bottled water brand and expanded to others. Each product has a unique code that shows you the exact project that it's assigned to fund, complete with GPS coordinates. www.thankyou.co
