Our products are intended to address malnutrition among vulnerable population segments such as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, older infants and young children especially in the first 1,000 days of their life.

Our Vision is to be a trusted Africa-based producer of a range of nutritious foods that are proven to improve health.
