Fortiva Health expands access to fortified staple foods across Uganda — working with trusted local partners so that families gain essential vitamins and minerals through the foods they already eat every day.

In many communities, families eat enough to feel full — yet still go without the vitamins and minerals they need to grow, learn, and thrive. It's an invisible gap with lifelong consequences, and it falls hardest on mothers and children. The good news: it's preventable.
Diets can fill the stomach yet still lack essential nutrients — an issue often called "hidden hunger."
Enriching everyday foods is one of the most effective, affordable ways to close that gap.
For many families these foods simply aren't available where they live. That's the gap Fortiva exists to close.
Fortiva makes everyday staple foods more nourishing — adding the vitamins and minerals families need, with no change to how they cook or eat. We work alongside trusted local partners and handle the quality and coordination, so better nutrition simply becomes part of daily life.
Made through trusted local partners, to recognised quality standards — supporting the communities we serve.
Nutrition added to a staple people already know and love, so healthier eating takes no extra effort.
Available through the shops, schools, and clinics communities already rely on — paired with clear, trusted education.
Our first pilot is designed to show that fortified staple foods can reach families across Uganda through the everyday food systems they already use. These are the targets we're working toward.
Our flagship product is a fortified maize flour designed to deliver essential micronutrients through one of Uganda's most widely eaten staples — with no change to how families already cook and eat.
Whether you're a school, healthcare provider, distributor, research partner, or investor, we'd love to explore how we can work together.
