“Every time we let a child on this planet die of starvation, it is not just a policy failure, it is a moral failure. We have the food and the know-how to make sure nobody goes without. Hunger is a political condition. As Americans—as human beings—we should not be able to live with that. Operation End Starvation is the embodiment of the United States living up to our highest principles.”

“RUTF and prenatal vitamins are lifesaving, American-made, and produced by farmers and workers from nearly 30 states across this country. Operation End Starvation means more demand for American agriculture and American manufacturing, while ensuring that the dollars we invest go directly to saving children's lives.”

“I have long been a proud supporter of RUTF and MMS because it saves lives. It also draws on American ingenuity and supports jobs here at home. We must invest in lifesaving food assistance and demonstrate the United States’ commitment to ending child hunger. Operation End Starvation is what American leadership can look like. We need to build new, smarter systems that deliver results the world can see.”

“For 70 years, Kansas and American farmers have played an active role in sending their commodities to feed malnourished and starving populations around the world. RUTF is an effective, American-made solution that provides children in need with lifesaving aid, and Operation End Starvation will help ensure we can provide that aid while supporting our agricultural community and providing accountability for taxpayer dollars.”

"A child dies of starvation every eleven seconds. That is not a statistic we can accept when proven treatments exist. Operation End Starvation was built to close the gap between what we know works and what's actually being delivered on the ground. It's time to move faster, spend smarter, and save more lives."

"American farmers producing to support RUTFs are saving lives and greatly contributing to the economy. The United States is leading Operation End Starvation, with the proper oversight to ensure every federal dollar used is delivering lifesaving aid to children in need. This is a win-win, and I am proud to represent Georgia and peanut farmers who are on the front line to end global hunger.”

“Around the world, children are starving as a result of war, famine, and misfortune. That should never happen. Operation End Starvation has dedicated itself to providing lifesaving nutrition to put those children back on track to health. It’s hard to think of a more worthy cause. I applaud their mission and thank all of their team members for striving to make the mission successful.”

I’m proud to support Operation End Starvation and its fight to end child hunger. There is no reason why children should go hungry, and RUTF plays an important role in fighting global hunger. Not only is this program nourishing for the people it serves, but it also helps nourish Georgia’s economy, too.”

"For too long, American taxpayers have had to take it on faith that their aid dollars were reaching the people who needed them most. Operation End Starvation changes that. With private philanthropy covering all overhead costs, every public dollar goes directly to purchasing and delivering treatment. And with real-time tracking, independent audits, and competitive procurement at every stage, donors and taxpayers finally get the accountability they deserve."

“No child should die of hunger. Operation End Starvation leverages the resources and ingenuity of the United States to prevent hunger and saves children’s lives. America is at its best when we support mothers and families and lead the way to end hunger around the world.”

“Saving children's lives and supporting American farmers should never be a partisan issue — and with Operation End Starvation, they go hand in hand. Ready-to-use therapeutic food is made right here, from American peanuts and soybeans. When we invest in getting it to the children who need it, we're investing in our farmers and communities at the same time.” 

"Malnutrition is one of the greatest threats to child survival worldwide and the underlying cause of nearly half of all child deaths. Operation End Starvation will rapidly increase our ability to combat hunger and save lives."

“Ending child hunger requires sustained commitment, smart policy, and strong partnerships across sectors. Operation End Starvation brings these elements together in a way that can help expand access to life-saving nutrition and move us closer to a world where preventable child deaths from malnutrition are a thing of the past.”

“Helen Keller Intl is committed to supporting partner countries to scale up proven, life-saving nutrition solutions for communities the most at risk. Collaborative initiatives to combine private and public resources will accelerate access to two high‑impact nutrition interventions at a time when we must act with urgency.”

“Save the Children has been treating children suffering from acute malnutrition for over a century, and we know that when children get the right treatment at the right time, the results are extraordinary. Special nutrition products like RUTF are effective tools in treating malnourished kids, yet millions of children still can't access them. While we work to make sure that children never get to this point, Operation End Starvation's focus on speed, scale, and accountability is a welcome piece of this puzzle.”

“At Project HOPE, we see the impact of the hunger crisis in the world’s most fragile environments, where missing a daily meal or therapeutic supplement can have devastating and far-ranging health consequences. In a world with so much abundance, no child or expectant mother should ever worry about their next meal. We support innovative solutions that bring us closer to a world where starvation is a thing of the past.” 

“SID’s membership spans many of the organizations at the forefront of delivering global nutrition programs. What’s encouraging about OES is its commitment to working through those existing systems—while using open, competitive processes to bring the best partners forward and strengthen accountability across the response.” 

"To combat global malnutrition, OES will streamline results using an improved model based on evidence, transparency, and speed."

“At a time when food security is national security, America and the world need solutions that move at the speed of the crisis, especially when it comes to acute malnutrition. Simply put, investments in stable, healthy communities to address the root causes of food insecurity are not just the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do. That’s why Operation End Starvation’s model – leveraging philanthropic investments with public funding – is a real game-changer as one of the more innovative approaches, creating a win for America and win for children throughout the world.”

"Today’s hunger and malnutrition rates make it clear that old approaches will not suffice. By harnessing private sector innovation, Operation End Starvation is arriving not a moment too soon."

"Operation End Starvation is launching at the right time to create opportunities for American small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of America and can engage with OES to scale proven solutions to treat global child malnutrition." 

Nearly 43 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition today—yet we know exactly how to save them. RUTF is one of the most cost-effective interventions in global health, with recovery rates exceeding 90 percent. CHAI has seen this firsthand across dozens of countries: when children get the right treatment in time, the results are extraordinary. Operation End Starvation's focus on speed, transparency, and scale is a welcome addition to the global effort to reach every child who needs it.

“From our factory floor to the hands of a mother feeding her child, this product is one of the most powerful, proven tools in global health. What OES is doing—bringing scale, speed, and accountability to the entire pipeline—can mean the difference between life and death for millions of children.”

"Just as Operation Overlord established a decisive beachhead in the liberation of Europe in WW2, Operation End Starvation offers a similar foothold in the fight against global malnutrition. For too long, hunger has been addressed in fragmented ways; this moment represents a focused, coordinated effort capable of turning the tide. At Mana, we believe this kind of unified advance is how the beginning of the end of malnutrition takes shape—moving us from managing hunger to ending it."
