To date, Sanku has already helped more than 600 millers fortify their flour, feeding over two million people daily. With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the WFP Innovation Accelerator, Sanku has thus far signed up an additional 112 millers, across 15 regions in Tanzania, produced 4,431 metric tons of fortified flour, and reached another 280,000 people.
The goal is to continue to expand the use of fortified flour throughout Tanzania and beyond in East Africa, while increasing the capacity to reliably and cost-effectively supply millers with empty flour bags, which is critical to the sustainability model.
To reach the next stage of scale, Sanku needs more investors and donors. In 2022, Sanku aims to add 300 more mills to its network of mill partners, set-up operations in Kenya and expand to reach 4 million people. Sanku needs approximately USD 1.6 million in additional funding for this year’s expansion.
