The World Soy Foundation (WSF) recently received reports from Nicaragua that last year’s donation of Textured Soy Protein (TSP) has provided over 380,000 meals to children throughout the country this year. Cargill donated the TSP to WSF as part of a three-year Central America Nutrition program covering Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras. TSP and Nicaraguan grown rice were packed together in the first event of its kind as part of a joint effort between WSF, Tip Top (Cargill Nicaragua) employees, the Fabretto Children’s Foundation and Feed My Starving Children (FMSC). The meals are distributed throughout schools in Nicaragua and provide children the protein they need in order to learn and grow.

World Soy Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization so contributions are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes to the extent allowed by law under section 170 of the IRS Code. The WSF, operated by the ASA, works with private voluntary and non-governmental organizations to deliver soy protein and nutrition education to people who need it around the world.
