Mission Statement
Tackling childhood malnutrition by 1) treating cases in Northeastern Nigeria and 2) incubating innovations designed to improve the cost-effectiveness of malnutrition treatment globally, for the 45.4 million children who need it.
About This Cause
Acute malnutrition is the leading cause of under-five childhood deaths globally. We're working to change that. Taimaka is a joint Nigerian-American NGO operating in northeastern Nigeria, where we 1) treat thousands of children with acute malnutrition and 2) incubate cost-effective interventions, designed to improve the cost and quality of malnutrition treatment globally. To improve the cost-effectiveness of global malnutrition treatment, we collaborate with academics to rigorously test and incubate a portfolio of candidate innovations each year in our CMAM program. If these candidate innovations prove effective, we advocate for changes to global standards of care and help other implementers adopt our innovations at scale. If we can reduce the cost of treatment by 1% through innovation, we can free up $3.4 million already spent on malnutrition globally and treat an additional 50,000 children a year, in perpetuity.
