End Hidden Hunger in Africa

Every Mother and Child Deserve Access to the Basic Human Right of Nutritious Food.

Over 2 billion people lack access to vital nutrients.

Micronutrient deficiencies (not getting enough vitamins and minerals) are the leading cause of intellectual disability in children, preventable blindness among adults, and maternal death during childbirth.

What we do

We scale technology and business solutions that put critical nutrients into the food that hundreds of millions of malnourished people eat the most. By doing so, we are guaranteeing that every meal, for every mother and child, contains lifesaving nutrients, forever.

We close the gap in Fortification

Food fortification is common in the developed world. We see it every day in our cereal and milk and salt. But two billion people don’t get what most of us take for granted.

Food fortification works, but large-scale programs have limited reach in Africa. For example, over 50 million Tanzanians eat maize flour everyday, yet 95% of this flour is produced at small-scale remote mills. The people most in need of better nutrition are not getting it.

Our Smart Technology

In partnership with Vodafone, our dosifiers are now Smart! Equipped with cellular enabled technology, we can now remote monitor all our flour mills in real-time over the network, direct to our devices, anywhere in the world, alerting us when a machine needs to be fixed or a mill restocked with nutrients.

We are even more cost-effective because less staff are required for monitoring and service. Technology can reach thousands. Smart technology reaches millions.

“Fortification is one of the most cost-effective nutritional interventions. Despite this, it fails to reach the 6.5 billion people in developing countries who rely on small, often rural mills for most of their food. That’s why we have invested in Sanku.”
