Professor works to feed Haitian children's greatest needs

At her Kirkwood home, Dr. Lora Iannotti has her hands full keeping score with three kids of her own. But for the last 20 years, she's been working to improve the scores of thousands of Haitian children who have fallen off the charts when it comes to nutrition.

Meds & Food for Kids saves the lives of Haiti's malnourished children by producing and distributing highly nutritious foods, including Medika Mamba, a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food endorsed by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Because of its commitment to Haiti's long-term development, MFK produces Medika Mamba in Haiti, with Haitian labor, and with many Haitian raw materials.
