We're incredibly grateful for NUTTO & FRUTTO B.V.'s contribution, says Joliene Heimgartner of UNICEF Netherlands.

Building Blocks for the Future
The Plastic Bricks project not only expands access to education, but also contributes to a cleaner environment. Ivory Coast is facing a serious waste crisis. Its capital Abidjan produces 288,000 kilos of plastic waste every day.
UNICEF recycles part of this waste into durable plastic bricks, which are then used to build classrooms. Currently, 1.6 million children in Ivory Coast are out of school. Thanks to NUTTO & FRUTTO B.V.'s support, more children will now have access to quality education.
"Touching a Child's Heart Is Touching the Conscience of Humanity"
"Touching a child's heart is touching the conscience of humanity. The future will rise on the shoulders of generations shaped by education," says Ferhat Yildiz, CEO of NUTTO & FRUTTO B.V.. "With this belief, we are deeply honored to support this project, carried out in partnership with UNICEF, a globally active and trusted organization focused on children's education, health, and fundamental rights. "At NUTTO & FRUTTO B.V., we don't just offer healthy food; we invest in children, in their hopes and in their education, because they represent our shared future. We see this step not just as a social responsibility, but as a human duty." — CEO of NUTTO & FRUTTO B.V.
Nutto Frutto Orphan Care and Support Project
One of the most painful consequences of war is the trauma experienced by children who have lost their families. As Nutto Frutto, we not only meet the shelter needs of these children but also provide them with a loving, safe, and supportive environment.
Through the support we provide to orphanages, we aim to address children's educational, health, and psychosocial needs with a holistic approach. Ensuring that every child grows up in a manner worthy of human dignity is a fundamental humanitarian value for us.
Since 2022, we've been supporting war-affected children in Ukraine with safe housing, education, and emotional care.
Nutto Frutto Educational Support Project
Education is the most fundamental element in the development of societies, and as Nutto Frutto, providing educational support to rural schools in Ukraine is of great importance to us. By supplying educational materials and improving learning environments, we facilitate children's access to knowledge and ensure they have a healthy and safe learning experience.
We care not only about academic success but also about the physical and emotional well-being of children. Nutto Frutto pays special attention to improving hygiene and health conditions in educational environments. This approach supports the healthy development of children both physically and mentally, helping them look to the future with hope.
Since 2016, we've been supporting educational development in rural Ukrainian schools
Nutto Frutto Rural Communities Infrastructure Project
As Nutto Frutto, we work in close cooperation with local municipalities to improve living conditions in rural areas of Ukraine. Strengthening basic infrastructure is critical to creating healthy and sustainable living spaces.
In this context, we drill water wells to provide access to clean water and build roads to facilitate transportation. Our aim is to improve the quality of life of the rural population while prioritizing their health and safety needs.
Since 2010, we've been working to improve rural infrastructure and living conditions in Ukrainian villages
NUTTO FRUTTO ORGANIC PROJECT
Nutto Frutto is committed to fostering resilient rural communities through sustainable walnut agriculture, built on organic and fair-trade principles. We unite small-scale walnut farmers across Ukrainian villages, empowering them to sell their harvest at fair prices, directly from their homes to consumers who value quality, taste, and ethical sourcing.
Our mission extends beyond fair trade. By strengthening the walnut value chain, we create local economic opportunities through walnut processing, transforming raw walnuts into premium products such as nut milk, nut butters, and blanched walnuts.
In 2006, we introduced innovative solutions to enhance the walnut value chain, empowering farmers and supporting sustainable development.
