Questions

NutriPop FAQ

Sorghum grown by women farmers on restored land in Kenya's arid and semi-arid areas, blended with other ingredients rich in nutrients for growing children.

It's designed for children in Early Childhood Development (ECD) schools, especially in the farming communities where the sorghum is grown.

It is instant. Traditional porridge has to be cooked for a long time, but NutriPop is ready almost straight away. That saves time for school cooks, teachers and parents on busy mornings.

Sorghum is drought-resistant, so it grows on dry, restored land where other crops fail. Buying it gives women farmers an income and keeps their land under restoration.

NutriPop has reached minimum viable product stage and is being refined to meet our nutrition targets. Rollout to the first schools is planned for 2026. Contact us to join.
