One in three children in South Africa is considered stunted. Child stunting is a preventable condition.
The Inani StartWell Foundation's primary focus is to combat malnutrition and child stunting by designing, manufacturing & providing nutrient-rich morning meals.

The Inani StartWell Foundation is a South African NPO working to raise awareness and measurably contribute towards eliminating child stunting. The aim is to correct the “norm” that millions of vulnerable South African children, because of socio-economic circumstances, do not have access to food that is rich in growth nutrients during most of their critical developmental years.
The Inani StartWell Foundation forms partnerships with businesses and feeding schemes to deliver daily nutrient-dense meals to poverty-stricken areas. Feeding schemes get discounted prices and businesses receive an 18A BEE Certificate to the value of their contributions.
Welcome to the
Inani StartWell Foundation
“We aim to play a crucial role in the food manufacturing value chain by serving underprivileged communities in South Africa. We are excited to partner with institutions focussing on early child development and feeding schemes supporting our country's toddlers through their early development stages.”
