The fund at work in South Sudan
In the Eastern Equatoria region of South Sudan, the Foundation made a donation to the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2017, helping to provide 97.8 metric tons of pulses. Pulses are edible legume seeds used to provide sustenance to vulnerable households whose agricultural production has been disrupted by conflict. The Foundation’s grant contributed to providing life-saving food to 64,666 people for one month. In parallel, Louis Dreyfus Company donated US$125,000, with which the WFP procured 26.8 metric tons of Plumpy’Sup™, a highly nutritive product used to rehabilitate children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition. The additional grant contributed to feeding 8,933 children under five years old, also for one month.

In 2016, the Foundation made a donation to support the WFP’s work in Ethiopia, to combat famine resulting from severe drought.
