Nearly one in three children under five in Rwanda experiences chronic malnutrition. In response, we are building a long-term, locally grounded solution that converts fresh agricultural produce into high-quality nutritional foods, while strengthening manufacturing capacity and improving market access for smallholder farmers.
Our nutritional foods product range is focused on preventative care for children. It offers a ready-to-eat, nutritious, and accessible solution that can be easily integrated into local daily diets.
Our model is straightforward but powerful. We establish direct sourcing relationships with local farmers, purchasing underutilised crops, including produce that may not meet export-grade or cosmetic standards but retains full nutritional value. By manufacturing these inputs into high-quality, nutrient-dense foods, and packaging them to ensure safety and shelf stability, we transform perishable supply into accessible, year-round nutrition for the communities and institutions that need it most.
All production is carried out locally in Rwanda, with full traceability from farm to finished product.
In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, post-harvest food losses amount to an estimated $4 billion each year, enough to feed 48 million people (WWF and World Bank, 2017). By 2024, the FAO confirmed the region continues to lose close to 20% of food post-harvest, well above the global average. We see that loss differently. Rather than accepting it as inevitable, we are building a model that captures that value and redirects it toward something meaningful. Every product is designed to meet national regulatory standards, with a formulation that meaningfully increases the nutrient profile available to children every day, giving them something better not because it is complicated, but because it is built the right way from the start.
This is an important step forward, but it is only the beginning. Over the coming months, we will be advancing from development into early production, and we look forward to sharing further progress as we do.
