Sanku

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 initiative is a step forward in ensuring better nutrition for communities in Tanzania and beyond.  Learn more about Millers for Nutrition here: https://lnkd.in/ecEejEUT  #MillersForNutrition #MillersForNutritionTanzania #LisheBora #BoreshaLishe 

The Maburas, affectionately known as "The Dreamers" in Kibaha Township, Tanzania, are dedicated to the wellbeing of their community, especially its youth. As parents of five, they are deeply invested in ensuring a healthier future for the next generation. Their commitment is reflected in the small mill they own and operate, named after their daughter, Godbless. Earlier this year, their vision for a healthier community began to take shape when Sanku installed a Dosifier machine at their mill, at no cost. They also order their customized, branded flour bags and nutrient premix from Sanku for the production of fortified flour. This partnership has been a significant milestone for them. "This is the starting point to greater heights. Thanks to Sanku, we are now ready to produce nutritious flour for our people," Mr. Mabura expressed with gratitude. Looking ahead, the Maburas plan to establish a school to provide education for the youth in their community, ''aiming to nourish both bodies and minds and create a lasting impact''.

We celebrate Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which are key in advancing the #SDGs. Despite progress lagging, MSMEs continue to be the backbone of global economies, representing 90% of businesses, more than 70% of employment, and 50% of GDP worldwide. In a world facing diverse challenges—from economic and social issues such as climate change, MSMEs are crucial to fostering job creation, equitable growth, and sustainable transformation. Their contribution to local and national economies is invaluable, particularly for the working poor, women, youth, and vulnerable groups. At Sanku, we are committed to continue partnering with small and medium-scale millers who provide for up to 95% of the population in East Africa. Through this partnerships, we are reaching more than 10 million people daily with nutritious food, highlighting the important role of MSMEs in improving livelihoods, promoting well-being towards #ZeroHunger. As we navigate towards a sustainable future, let's continue to empower MSMEs to drive the realization of #SDGs.

The Micronutrient Forum highlights the critical importance of resilience and the role of nutrition in building robust societies. In the face of increasing climate crises, many in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) experience cycles of food and nutrition insecurity, deepening the risk of malnutrition and exacerbating inequities for vulnerable populations such as women, children, individuals with disabilities, and displaced communities. Food fortification is a proven, low-cost, and scalable intervention that can reduce mortality, prevent disabilities and cognitive deficits, improve growth and immune functions, and strengthen population health. It enhances food systems, making nutrient-rich diets more affordable, especially for women and adolescent girls, delivering $27 in benefits for every $1 invested. Scaling up micronutrient interventions is essential for addressing malnutrition and building resilience in societies facing climate-related crises. Food fortification improves nutrition and reinforces community resilience, helping them recover from adversities more effectively.

This #WorldRefugeeDay2024 focuses on solidarity with refugees, emphasizing the need to welcome them, celebrate their strengths, and address their challenges. Refugees often face limited access to diverse, nutrient-rich foods due to economic constraints and geographic isolation while their displacement, loss of livelihoods, and limited access to national support systems contribute to significant food insecurity. Solidarity involves keeping doors open, helping them thrive in new communities, and providing resources to support them. A nutritious meal is a meaningful beginning! We continue to work alongside the World Food Programme Eastern Africa who are keen to ensure access to nutritious meals to thousands of refugees in East Africa. #WorldRefugeeDay2024 #SupportSanku #EndMalnutrition #EndHiddenHunger #SDG2
