Nutrition access
The challenge in Rwanda.
Malnutrition remains a serious challenge, with around 1.9% of young children experiencing wasting alongside stunting and micronutrient gaps.
Encouragingly, government initiatives have already helped reduce stunting rates by 10% between 2015 and 2020. We want to help that progress continue.
Our commitment
We don't do this alone.
Our dedication goes beyond yoghurt production. To help address access to nutrition, we partner with leading organisations working to improve child health across Rwanda and beyond.
Solid'Africa partnership
Vita A yoghurt for hospital feeding.
Ishyo donates Vita A yoghurt every week to Solid'Africa for their feeding program focused on children in hospitals.
This partnership connects Ishyo's nutrition products with children who need dependable, nourishing food during care.
