EDOM

Micro-nutrient malnutrition is a debilitating issue in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the WHO, Copenhagen Consensus & World bank reports, Vitamin A deficiency compromises the immunity of 42% of children under age 5, while 61% of children and 64% of women are anemic. Additionally, 60,000 women hemorrhage to the point of death during childbirth annually due to severe iron deficiency. Cost and accessibility both create major barriers to proper nutrition, but Edom Nutritional Solutions is changing this. Edom Nutritional Solutions source moringa oleifera—a green, leafy plant that provides sufficient vitamins and minerals to eliminate micro-nutrient deficiencies—to fortify staple flours. Affordable economy packs enable the majority of people living on $1-3 per person per day to access Edom's line of products, ensuring better nutrition for children and adults alike.
