We at Toddler Food Partners (TFP) are seeking out other groups, businesses and organizations as partners with the goal of treating and preventing malnutrition. Some of our partners provide equipment and expertise. Other partners are engaged in delivering products and services. This includes manufacturing RUTF and/or treating malnourished kids.

Our partner Compatible Technology International (CTI) is a non-profit organization based in St. Paul MN. Among other things, they have designed and provide high quality cost effective grinders. These grinders may be used with a hand crank or can be motorized. We at Toddler Foods, get grinders from CTI. We have designed an inexpensive sturdy stand that can be broken down and easily shipped. The stand works nicely for hand cranking the grinder but can also be configured for an electric motor. We obtain motors, pulleys and belts from other vendors and can provide a complete motorized grinder setup to our partners that deliver product and services to malnourished kids.

 Another partner, Full Belly Project (FBP) is a non-profit organization based in North Carolina. They provide a simple peanut sheller that is made of concrete with steel parts. We have purchased a set of molds from FBP which can be readily shipped and multiple shellers can be made locally.

 Another group of our partners are working directly in developing countries. Meds and Foods for Kids (MFK) is established in Haiti and has built up a major manufacturing facility for RUTF in Cap Haitien. TFP supports their operation in Haiti by obtaining, shipping and installing equipment for the production of RUTF. We travel to Cap Haitien periodically to install and maintain much of their equipment. We also help evaluate new equipment before it is purchased and shipped to Haiti.

We also work with a group from Assumption Catholic Church in Morris MN. They have a sister parish in the Andes of Peru. We provided a motorized grinder that they were able to take to Peru as part of their checked baggage. Together with their sister parish, they have set up a small local facility to treat malnourished kids within the parish.

We are seeking other partner organizations that have existing relationships in areas of the world where malnutrition is common and want to establish a  treatment program.
