Toto Afya Mix is a precooked blend of Maize, Sorghum, Soya beans, dry skimmed milk powder, oil and sugar, fortified with vitamins and minerals.
It’s formulated to provide the essential nutrients to children above 6 months to five years. Consumption of Toto Afya Mix by this age group is expected to result in prevention of micronutrient deficiencies, stunting, underweight and wasting. This will also enhance timely introduction of complementary foods. Ultimately this will reduce child mortality.
Afyamix is a viable option for providing a nutritious cost effective diet to address the constraints faced by many families in Kenya whose children are at risk of developing or suffering from moderate malnutrition (stunting and wasting) due to poverty and food insecurity.
Afyamix prevents malnutrition through programs that target pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and children aged 0-23 months, and treatment of moderate and severe wasting among less than 5 years (59 months). This program also reduces the risk of 2-5 years old becoming malnourished.
Provision of Afyamix is a part of reducing, the gap and increase accessibility of required foods.
AfyaMix meets nutritional requirement of specific groups. These include:
Baby Care Porridge: a high protein, nutritious weaning food for infants fortified with vitamins and mineral blend, calcium carbonate, milk powder, salt, sugar, and palm oil, essential for optimum child growth.
High-Energy Porridge: porridge high in protein and energy for growing, active children and sports men and women.
Pre-Natal Porridge: formulated for pregnant and lactating mothers, pre-natal nutriment is rich in iron, calcium, omega 3 and phosphorous. This provides required macro and micro nutrients for proper fetal development.
