About Cookie Project Asia!

Hello! Cookie Project Asia is a nonprofit that serves malnourished children in South Asia by providing them micronutrient-enriched cookies.

Because nearly 1 in 2 children in India suffer from chronic malnutrition.

Living in crowded and impoverished conditions, these kids don’t consume enough calories and nutrients to support healthy child development and growth. Many also suffer from intestinal parasites which prevent their bodies from absorbing the nutrients that they consume.

As a result, these children are hungry, their growth and intellectual development is stunted, and many are dying as a result of malnutrition.

To our knowledge, there are no other ministries in these areas seeking to meet these urgent nutritional needs.

The Cookie Project nourishes South Asian children with healthy cookies and milk.

Our cookie recipe includes a powdered blend of 15 essential micronutrients necessary to restore health. Four cookies and a glass of milk per day will provide the nourishment needed to rehabilitate a malnourished child to a healthy state in about 3 months. Our local partners in South Asia faciliate baking the cookies and distributing them 5 days a week to the children.

We also provide deworming treatments to reduce the parasitic burden in each child’s body and ensure that the micronutrients are able to be used for their nourishment and growth.

To monitor each child’s improvement while in our program, we also take monthly weight and body measurements.

The Cookie Project’s History . . .

The idea for the Cookie Project isn’t brand new. Jim originally launched the project in 2016 while working in South Asia. His team was able to help 41 children over a 6 month period before Jim returned to the United States. Please check out additional pictures from the Cookie Project in 2016 on our blog post History and Photos.

Though the project was small and brief back then, it worked very well. Jim felt called to relaunch this ministry in 2023. Learn more about Jim here.

Please consider supporting the Cookie Project.

Just $33 a month will provide one malnourished child four cookies and a glass of milk per day. If you would like to become a financial donor, please visit our giving page. Thank you!
