Guaranteeing that every meal, consumed by every mother and child, contains lifesaving nutrients, forever.

关于我们

Every day 8,000 children die and 2 billion people suffer from preventable illnesses because their diets lack basic vitamins and minerals. Sanku has the solution. Our vision: a world where everyone, everywhere, has guaranteed, affordable access to the nutrients they need to survive and thrive. Billions of people rely on small flour mills for their daily food. Empowering these mills to add lifesaving micronutrients to their flour could end malnutrition forever. Our award-winning technology makes adding nutrients into flour simple. Our innovative business model incentivises millers by neutralising the cost of the added nutrients. Because of Sanku, millers can produce quality nutritious flour, and families can access affordable healthy food every day. Sanku's work has received international recognition from the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, the Mulago Foundation, Givewell, The Life You Can Save, The Barry and Marie Lipman Prize, The Elevate Prize, The Million Lives Club, Fast Company, The Zayed Sustainability Prize, Time Magazine and the New York Times. We have a plan to reach 100M in East Africa by 2030, which will prevent millions from death and disease, boost productivity, and save billions of dollars in GDP. Our mission: Guarantee that every meal consumed by every mother & child contains vital nutrients, forever.

    Food insecurity and malnutrition often create environments where violence thrives, particularly against women and children. Violence against women and girls leads to physical and psychological trauma, which often results in poor nutritional status. Women who experience violence may suffer from stress, depression, and anxiety, which can affect their appetite and ability to maintain a healthy diet. This International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 2024, let’s remember that fighting hunger is also about protecting the most vulnerable. Watch our Hidden Hunger film on 3rd December and see how women are supporting each other and their communities.

    Children are the most vulnerable to the effects of Hidden Hunger. Malnutrition in early childhood can lead to lifelong challenges, from stunted growth to cognitive delays. From the third trimester to the second birthday, a million synapses a second are formed in a well-nourished brain, creating the foundation on which all learning, behaviour and health depend. This #WorldChildrensDay2024, let’s commit to invest in our children's future by prioritizing their rights and well-being. In Eastern Africa, Sanku is working to ensure that all children have access to their fundamental right to healthy food by ensuring that they receive the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. But we can’t do it alone. Watch our Hidden Hunger film on this year's #GivingTuesday on 3rd December to learn more about our work fighting malnutrition.

    Access to proper nutrition is a basic human right, not simply a matter of assistance. At the Conduit Changemakers gathering in London this week, Sanku’s co-founder & CEO, Felix Brooks-church, shared insights on the intersection of gender, climate, and nutrition—areas where Sanku is focused on addressing critical challenges for vulnerable communities. Our food systems are intertwined with the climate crisis, both contributing to it and being affected by it. The solutions are there, but making them a reality requires increased investment to drive these efforts forward and unlock their full impact. Felix was joined by leaders in the field: Gemma Tumelty of Eleanor Crook Foundation, Atalanti Moquette, founder of Giving Women, and Hamzah Sarwar from Reckitt. To truly make progress, it’s essential to break down barriers and act with urgency. Climate and nutrition are deeply connected, and addressing them together is crucial for sustainable change. #Changemakers #FoodSecurity #ClimateAction

    On this #WorldDiabetesDay, let’s talk about the connection between nutrition and diabetes prevention. A balanced diet rich in whole grains, legumes, and vegetables can help control blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity—key factors in diabetes management. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford a balanced diet. Fortified foods?can play a key role in preventing diet-related diseases, like diabetes, by ensuring that meals contain the essential nutrients our bodies need. By ensuring that essential nutrients are included in daily meals, we not only combat malnutrition but also support healthier communities.

    Today we mark our tenth season of #Philanthropod! ?? How much do you know about “hidden hunger”? Did you know that two billion people suffer from this silent crisis globally, leading to 8000 preventable child deaths daily? At its core, hidden hunger is a global malnutrition crisis. Whilst many people across the world might have access to flour or a starchy staple to fill their bellies, these staples often lack the vital nutrients needed to build strong immune systems, to have healthy pregnancies and avoid other serious health issues. Felix Brooks-church is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sanku, an East African social-enterprise that enables local flour mills to produce fortified flour (or flour that has been “fortified” with lifesaving nutrients). While counties in the Global North already enjoy fortified foods like cereal, milk, and salt, two billion people worldwide lack this basic human right. As at 2024, Sanku is now working with 1200 millers across Tanzania and Kenya in the hardest to reach places. With smart “Dosifier” machines that precisely add nutrients into flour, and through bulk manufacturing that keeps nutrient premix costs low, Sanku makes it possible for communities to access essential nutrients without any added cost. To learn more, tune in to hear #Philanthropod host, Anubha Rawat, in conversation with Felix. Anubha and Felix chat about global malnutrition, life-saving technology that provides data in real time, economies of scale, behavioural change and the importance of aligning development interventions to government policy agendas.
