The problem

The Hidden Hunger Crisis

30%

of Tanzanian children under five are stunted (TDHS-MIS 2022). Not from lack of food, but from lack of nutrients. Iron, zinc, Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies impair brain development, reduce immune function, and limit the potential of an entire generation.

Existing fortified food products cost TZS 3,000 to 8,000 per serving. That is far beyond what a student, factory worker or young family can afford every single day.

Our answer

The McLives Solution

1,000 TZS

Moody Pop is fortified porridge at 1,000 TZS per cup, the same price as a mandazi. We built an entire farm-to-cup production and distribution system in Arusha so that real nutrition could reach real people at a price they can actually afford. Every day.
