Nutri-Hub: Local Nutrition, Powered by Youth

We turn post-harvest loss in Southwest Cameroon into shelf-stable, fortified meals — grown, processed, and delivered by the community.

Hidden Hunger in Cameroon’s Breadbasket

The Muea–Buea corridor feeds thousands. But up to 50% of fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables rot before reaching families. During rainy season, the road to market turns to swamp.

The result? Anemia in women. Stunting in children. A broken food system where farmers lose income and kids miss nutrients — in a region full of farms and youth.

Our Solution: A Closed-Loop Nutrition Hub

Nutri-Hub is a solar-powered value chain that keeps nutrition in food and creates jobs for youth. No trucks needed daily. No vitamins lost to sun or spoilage.

1. Biofortified Seeds

We equip 300 farmers with High-Iron Beans MAC-33 and Pro-Vitamin A Maize Sammaz 14. Nutrition is grown right into the crop’s DNA.

2. Solar Processing

Crops are dehydrated within hours at our Solar Hub. This locks in 90% of micronutrients and gives food a 1+ year shelf life.

3. Youth-Led Delivery

A Youth-Led Cooperative mills powders and sells affordable “Micro-Dose” sachets. One sachet = complete protein for a child’s meal.

12-Month Pilot Impact Goals

With $50,000, this is what we’ll achieve in the Muea-Buea corridor.

Why Start in Muea–Buea?

Critical Food Artery: Muea supplies Buea’s 300,000 residents via Mile 17.
Youth Density: 60%+ of Cameroon is under 25. 70%+ of migrants here are youth seeking opportunity.
Stress Test: If Nutri-Hub works despite “swamp” roads and insecurity, it works anywhere.

Built to Last. Designed to Scale.

Nutri-Hub isn’t a handout. It’s a business owned by the youth who run it. Solar power keeps costs low. Sachet sales create revenue. After we prove the model in Buea, we’ll replicate it across Cameroon.
