About Us

Sanku

Every day 8,000 children die and 2 billion people suffer from preventable illnesses because their diets lack basic vitamins and minerals. Sanku has the solution. Our vision: a world where everyone, everywhere, has guaranteed, affordable access to the nutrients they need to survive and thrive.

Billions of people rely on small flour mills for their daily food. Empowering these mills to add lifesaving micronutrients to their flour could end malnutrition forever. Our award-winning technology makes adding nutrients into flour simple. Our innovative business model incentivises millers by neutralising the cost of the added nutrients. Because of Sanku, millers can produce quality nutritious flour, and families can access affordable healthy food every day.

Sanku’s work has received international recognition from the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, the Mulago Foundation, Givewell, The Life You Can Save, The Barry and Marie Lipman Prize, The Elevate Prize, The Million Lives Club, Fast Company, The Zayed Sustainability Prize, Time Magazine and the New York Times.

We have a plan to reach 100M in East Africa by 2030, which will prevent millions from death and disease, boost productivity, and save billions of dollars in GDP.

Our mission: Guarantee that every meal consumed by every mother & child contains vital nutrients, forever.
