Tanzania is suffering from high rate of malnutrition (stunting 32%) where by micronutrient deficiency which causes death of children and women is a major challenge. Sanavita is dedicated in bio-fortified crops with Vitamin A, Zinc and Iron to reduce Vitamin A deficiency and Anemia among children and women; (Iron deficiency is 58% for Children under the age of 5; and 45% for women aged 15 – 49 years; moreover; Vitamin A deficiency for Children aged 6 – 59 months is 33%).

Sanavita’s approach in dealing with malnutrition is affordable, cost-effective and sustainable; by mobilizing smallholder farmers in production and processing these crops to reach town and mid-town. Thus, Sanavita enhance sustainability, affordability and accessibility; at the same time supporting women to come out of poverty and improve the livelihood of the rural community through their engagement in agriculture; particularly staple crops that are nutritious; as Sanavita guarantees ready market for suppliers.
We are creating awareness in clinics, on social media, local media to reach out all the people both in town and rural area. This is done in collaboration with district health department and Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre. Also, village governments are the organizers of the meeting and trainings.
