Sanku – Project Healthy Children’s mission is to provide children everywhere with the simple, inexpensive, basic nutritional support they require to survive and thrive. Sanku – Project Healthy Children focuses on achieving wide micronutrient coverage for at risk communities in Africa.
2024 achievements include:
In June 2024, Sanku launched its Nutrient Premix Blending Factory in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The first of its kind in East and Central Africa. The factory is expected to provide affordable, high-quality nutrient premix locally, supporting millers in their fortification efforts and reducing logistical challenges. The new factory gives millers convenient access to high-quality nutrient premix produced based on each country’s fortification standards and includes Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Zinc, Iron micronutrients among others. 70% of the packaging and raw materials, including the wheat carrier, essential for nutrient premix, will be sourced from local millers.
