Mission Statement
Project Healthy Children partners with small mills to put critical nutrients into the food that hundreds of millions of malnourished people eat the most. By doing so, we guarantee that every meal, for every mother and child, contains lifesaving nutrients, forever.
About This Cause
Worldwide, 8,000 children die every day and 2 billion suffer from preventable illness because their diets lack basic vitamins and minerals. Fortification (adding life-saving micronutrients to processed foods) is the most cost-effective nutrition intervention, but it has failed to reach the 6.5 billion people in developing countries who rely on small, often rural, mills for most of their food. Sanku-Project Healthy Children developed a technology and business model to enable the small mills that feed the most malnourished people to conveniently and affordably fortify staple grains. Our technology precisely adds nutrients into flour during processing and our business model leverages economies of scale to offset any additional costs for millers and their customers, providing Sanku with revenue margins that increase as we scale. Working with over 500 across East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Malawi), we currently provide access to the basic human right of good nutrition to around 2 million people. We have a plan to reach 25 million people by 2025, which will prevent millions from death and disease, boost productivity, and save billions of dollars in GDP.
