Sanku Launches Nutrition Podcast in Partnership with SHAK
Sanku has launched The Nutrient Shield, a nutrition-focused video podcast developed in partnership with the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association Kenya (SHAK). The podcast explores the role of food fortification and micronutrients in preventing malnutrition-related conditions, including neural tube defects such as spina bifida and hydrocephalus.
Hosted by Virginia Muhuthia, who lives with acquired hydrocephalus, the series combines expert interviews, practical nutrition information, and lived experience. Episodes examine the link between fortified foods and healthy development, with a particular focus on maternal nutrition and early childhood outcomes.
The podcast supports broader efforts to improve nutrition literacy and complements Sanku’s systems-based approach to expanding access to fortified staple foods across the region.
