** Our Story **
Rose and (the late) Dr. Basil Kransdorff noticed organisations in South Africa handing out packets of food, which contained the bare minimum of nutrients – starch and carbohydrates (fibre poor, high sugar, empty calories). Their determination to create a more nutrient-rich product led to the birth of e’Pap, a unique approach to achieving daily nutritional needs in the fortified version of southern Africa’s staple food: pap (maize porridge).
We believe hunger and malnutrition are solvable. The hidden hunger crisis can negatively impact a country’s Gross Domestic Product by as much as 7%, and what we feed each child and vulnerable family today will benefit our people for the next 40 to 60 years to come. It’s why we take every opportunity to inform children in schools and the people we meet about the science behind nutrition.
** Vision **
Community commitment is our motto.
In the dry, water-scarce regions of Africa, e’Pap is committed to improving the nutrition status of 100 million Africans by 2040. With an estimated population of 2 billion people by then, our raison d’être is to raise the nutritional status and awareness of Africans so they can successfully tackle the unprecedented and unpredictable times ahead.
e’Pap is working towards reconstructing ideas around the importance of fortification, good eating patterns, and their resulting positive health impact. Without this knowledge, health issues (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, depression) are rampant. We wholeheartedly assist individuals with cancer, HIV/AIDS, dysphagia, tuberculosis, and other health conditions in their journeys towards better health, because we know a little goes a long way.
Donate today and join the effort to end the hidden hunger crisis.
