Scaling Nutrition, Transforming Communities: Empowering Women and Strengthening Global Health
MotherFood International is dedicated to combating child and maternal malnutrition worldwide. By partnering with existing food manufacturers, we help scale their businesses and fortify products to increase their nutritional impact.
We also empower women by training them to create micro-factories, producing nutrient-rich food in their communities. Our mission is strengthened through collaborations with like-minded organizations, united in the belief that together we can make a powerful difference in global nutrition and health.
