Start Date: 30/06/2018- End Date: 30/09/2021


Project Lead(s): Elijah Songok

Ujiplus is a highly nutritious school meal with deworming properties that can be used for children at risk of parasitic worm disease, while also tackling malnutrition. With this funding, the project will seek to: (1) Conduct an expanded clinical trial to demonstrate the efficacy of Ujiplus on A. lumbricoides and an additional three common worm infections (est. 1,200 children across six schools); (2) Make adjustments to product formulation, as necessary, to improve taste and texture; (3) Build a viable go-to-market and scaling strategy, through activities such as market research and business plan development.
