Our Team

Shakira Nanteza International U of East Africa, Uganda
We started this idea when the thought for food team came to our university, and me and my friends saw the urge to help our people who are dying hungry, Banana is one of the most grow plant in Uganda but it is a perishable plant, most of the farmers lose it and end up hungry when it's season is out.
So what we do is that we get funds and are able to get a banana drying machine, at first we partner with big companies to dry the banana which turns it into flour, so after, doing that, we make shops that sell back that banana flour at low prices. And at the same time we buy that banana from them because they really produce a lot.
