Make a major gift
“MacKenzie Scott’s unrestricted gift was an inflection point.”
Felix Brooks-church, CEO
Proper nutrition is a basic human right. Help us deliver vital nutrients to one billion people.
Sanku has a solution that works. Now we need to scale it to reach everyone who needs it.
For a mother or young child, nutrients missing now can do lasting harm, and for a developing brain the damage can’t be undone later. Every day counts.
Install 100 Dosifiers
Expand into a new country
Build the next premix factory
Scale to 500 million people, and operational breakeven
$50 million is the estimated five-year funding gap to put Sanku on a sustainable path to reach one billion people with vital nutrients. The first $20 million funds the work to reach 100 million people within two years. The full $50 million takes us to 500 million people, brings the commercial supply chain to operational breakeven, and sets a clear path to one billion within ten years.
The sooner funding is committed, the sooner we can plan and begin each expansion, and the more people we reach.
Reach $20 million and we’re at the 100 million mark, with $30 million to go.

See what your support builds
Sanku built Eastern Africa’s first nutrient premix factory in Tanzania in 2024, with a second opening in Ethiopia in December 2026. Local production makes premix supply more sustainable. It creates local jobs, improves quality, controls cost, and protects supply across the region.
