MANA Nutrition, a factory in Fitzgerald, Georgia, which produces peanut paste crucial for feeding severely malnourished children globally, is facing financial uncertainty due to cuts in U.S.A.I.D. funding implemented by the Trump administration. Having relied on these federal funds for over a decade—90% of their budget—MANA's operations and 112 local jobs are now jeopardized. This change has raised concerns among local communities about the reliability of government support and the broader implications for their economic stability, especially given a historical context of prior job losses in the region.
In Fitzgerald, Georgia, the local factory’s financial survival is threatened as U.S.A.I.D. funding ceases, risking jobs despite its critical role in combating childhood malnutrition.
