Project Description and Impact

We are a Tanzanian nutrition start-up that addresses the increasing problem of hidden hunger among children under 5 years old in our country. Most children in this age bracket are lacking proper nutrients in their foods and furthermore parents don't have enough nutrition knowledge to address this issue. That's where we come in. We manufacture and distribute nutritious baby food products which combine tech in the form of bio-fortification and nature in the form of superfoods like almonds. Our products have a good mix of micro and macro nutrients for all around healthy nutrition to children at affordable prices. We have supplied over 40,000 units of products so far.

We also provide free nutrition education via social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Whatsapp. We have amassed a community of 200,000 parents (mostly mothers) across these online communities giving them various nutrition tips and healthy food recipes for their young ones. For those who need in depth education we offer affordable child nutrition classes. We have enrolled over 8,000 parents in these classes so far.

As we grow we need to find points to maximise our reach via areas where our target audience exist and place authority. And that is why we need support. We wish to have women association members, doctors, nurses, nutritionist and medical institutions as champions but we have been unable to execute a successful program to do so after executing some programs before. We need expert knowledge on this matter so that we can increase our awareness and impact in this area.

We would love support to enable us to expand our reach in the targeted areas via partnerships so as we can grow our impact and business sustainably with the potential partners.
