MotherFood International has given a $5,000 grant to Loom Chocolate , a company based in Abuja, Nigeria. Loom Chocolate sources the most flavourful cocoa beans in Nigeria and transforms them into some of the best chocolate in the world.
“We love what Uzo has built and see a big opportunity for her to expand her business with a new fortified product line. Supporting female entrepreneurs who can address maternal and child malnutrition aligns perfectly with our mission at MotherFood” stated Chris Emergui , Global Partnerships.
“This grant will allow us to develop and test multiple nutrient dense prototypes. We will also conduct market research and taste tests with a sufficient sample of consumers to identify preferences, collect feedback and help improve the product.” Said Uzoamaka Igweike Founder of Loom Chocolate
