Social Enterprise
Diyaar local foods Processing
Diyaar Local Foods Processing is a sustainable nutrition and food security initiative launched by SOFHA (Somaliland Family Health Organization), focused on improving the health and well-being of mothers and children in Somaliland. The initiative is designed to address malnutrition by processing locally grown food into nutrient-dense products that are both affordable and accessible. By focusing on the nutritional needs of mothers and young children, Diyaar works to improve diet diversity and provide essential micronutrients often lacking in the local diet. The initiative emphasizes the use of indigenous crops, such as millet, sorghum, and legumes, which are then processed into fortified foods like porridge flour, ready-to-use therapeutic food, and energy-dense snacks. This helps to ensure that families, particularly those in rural and underserved areas, can access the essential nutrition needed to combat stunting, anemia, and other nutrition-related health issues.Diyaar initiative also supports the local economy by engaging small-scale farmers, creating jobs in food processing, and promoting sustainable agriculture practices. It provides farmers with fair access to markets, reducing food waste by utilizing surplus crops that might otherwise go unharvested.
