During their early development stages, every growing child in South Africa deserves access to the required nutrients to fully grow, develop and reach their full genetic potential. We know that protein-energy malnutrition is a major cause of stunted growth in children in our country. We also know that families often struggle to afford and provide their children with the daily required bio-available proteins in their meals.
Through our subsidiary StartWell Foods (Pty) Ltd, we manufacture premium quality ready-to-eat meals specifically designed for growing children’s needs in vulnerable communities. We prioritize nutritional content and affordability, ensuring each meal is packed with quality macronutrients - specially the proteins - as well as the essential vitamins and minerals children need to thrive.
We work with partners to:
200 tons production capacity Twins Screw Extrution Plant. Can feed 200 000 children a daily meal. GFSI Intermediate and Halaal certified.
210 000 meals a month and 2,3 milion meals a year.
70% of our factory belongs to the StartWell Foundation, a registered NPC.
