Business Overview
Many families in Kakuma struggle to access nutritious food that meets their specific health needs, especially for women and children. Limited access to essential vitamins and minerals leads to health and overall well-being problems. In Kakuma, there is a real need for convenient and affordable food products that address these nutritional gaps.
Fabiola Nzoyikorera has created an innovative solution to address this important problem. Her business, the Amazing Food Company, provides healthier and delicious oatmeal for refugee families in Kakuma. Her products are enriched with vitamins essential for human health and especially cater to the dietary needs of women and children.
The Entrepreneur
Fabiola is originally from Burundi and has lived in the Kakuma Refugee Camp for 4 years. Her and her husband support three children. She graduated from college with a degree in Agribusiness while in Burundi. Shortly after she graduated, she fled with her family to Kenya to escape violence in her home country.
She decided to start her oatmeal company after seeing that her own children were not getting enough healthy nutrients from their diet. She created her own specialized oatmeal as a way to supplement their diet and improve their health, and then decided to sell the product as a way of helping other families in Kakuma.

Fabiola is trying to raise $1,200 to improve and grow her business. She plans on using the money to purchase better machines and supplies to make her business more efficient. Your donation can make a real difference for Fabiola and the many families that buy her products.
