Business Overview

Nutritious food options are scarce for the refugees living in Kakuma, especially when it comes to fresh and healthy drinks. The camp community often relies on sugary, processed beverages and carbonated drinks, which contribute to various health issues like heart disease and diabetes. So, there is a real need for healthy beverage alternatives in Kakuma.

Andy is seeking to address this need by offering healthy, fresh beverages at a reasonable price. His business will offer a variety of freshly prepared juices and fruits, ensuring high-quality by sourcing fresh fruits daily and preparing all of the juices on-site.

Andy’s Juice Vendor is also located in a very diverse area in Kakuma where the community is growing more aware of the importance of healthy consumption. There is a strong demand for nutritious, fresh beverages and Andy’s business will be well-positioned to fill this need.
