We would like to thank everyone who participated in the successful launch of the Sanku Nutrient Premix Factory and Millers for Nutrition initiative in Tanzania which will ensure that millers get the technical support and quality, affordable pre-mix they need to improve the nutritional quality of their food. These initiatives will continue to support millers to fortify their products with essential nutrients to required standards vital in increasing access to nutritious diets and improving public health. Special thanks to Hon. Kassim M. Majaliwa, The Prime Minister of The United Republic of Tanzania, Hon. Ummy Mwalimu, Minister of Health, Hon. Exaud Kigahe, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Industry & Trade and Hon. Ummy Hamis, Deputy Minister, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, for joining milling leaders and other industry players at the launch.  The new Sanku Nutrient Blending Factory will provide affordable, high-quality nutrient premix locally, supporting millers in their fortification efforts and reducing logistical challenges.

This World Food Day, we’re highlighting the global challenge of hunger and malnutrition. Despite producing enough food to feed the world, 733 million people still face hunger. Sanku is committed to addressing this in Eastern Africa by partnering with local millers to make fortified flour more affordable and accessible, reaching nearly 16 million people daily. Let's commit to advocate for sustainable food systems, nutrition security, and a future where everyone has access to nutritious, safe food.

Today is International Day of Rural Women. We appreciate the place of rural women in Africa in safeguarding food security and nutrition. With over 80% of African women residing in rural areas and more than 60% employed in agriculture, these women are at the heart of food production, processing, and preparation. Their work ensures households and communities access to diverse, nutritious diets, while contributing to local economies. However, climate change poses a serious threat to their livelihoods and food security. As primary food producers, rural women are disproportionately impacted by erratic weather patterns, droughts, and soil degradation. Ensuring climate resilience is critical to protect their livelihoods and secure the future of food and nutrition security across Africa. On this day, let’s commit to Empowering Change and Advancing Equality by supporting rural women with the resources and tools they need to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices. #SupportSanku #EndMalnutrition #EndHiddenHunger #SDG2

This International Day of the Girl Child, we celebrate ‘Girls’ vision for the future’ and the importance of nutrition in helping girls achieve their goals. Adequate nutrition is crucial for girls for several reasons. It plays a key role in their physical and mental development, helping them grow strong and stay healthy. Well-nourished girls are also more likely to attend school regularly and perform well academically, which supports their ability to learn and succeed. Proper nutrition provides a foundation for girls to pursue their goals and create opportunities for themselves. In the long term, healthy and educated girls contribute to their communities, playing a part in addressing poverty and inequality. By ensuring girls have access to nutritious food, we build a future where they can reach their full potential. Learn more 👉 www.sanku.com #SupportSanku #EndMalnutrition #EndHiddenHunger #SDG2

We’re excited to join the conversation at #AVPA2024 alongside organizations like 60 Decibels, Small Foundation, and Toilets for All. From 4th-6th November in Nairobi, we’ll be discussing sustainable growth and solutions to pressing social challenges across the continent. See you there!

Boosting education through nutrition is a powerful way to support future generations. School feeding programs are critical for tackling hidden hunger and improving learning outcomes. These initiatives provide children with the nutrients they need for physical and cognitive development and also help increase school attendance, concentration, and academic performance. In Kenya, where 18% of children under five are stunted, and 5.6 million face food insecurity, investing in these programs is essential. Foods fortified with vitamins and minerals can further enhance the impact, ensuring healthier, more engaged learners. We are advocating for school feeding programs and food fortification to give every child an opportunity to thrive! Learn more 👉 www.sanku.com #SupportSanku #EndMalnutrition #EndHiddenHunger #SDG2
