Stargold’s Nutrition Foundation
Stargold’s Nutrition Foundation
Stargold’s Nutrition Foundation is a registered charity* that serves families in Africa, specifically in Gabon. Our goal is to relieve poverty by operating a kitchen that prepares and distributes convenient yet nutrient-dense protein snacks to children. We are committed to creating a sustainable supply chain so that the community can become self-sustaining. We believe in engaging local farmers to grow high quality crops indigenous to the country for the protein snacks we will produce and also in creating jobs for local men and women to prepare and deliver the protein snacks.
At the heart of our Foundation are dieticians and dietetics students who are dedicated to advancing nutritional knowledge and improving nutritional status. We have formulated a nutritious yet tasty protein snack recipe for our kitchen in Gabon!
We have also published multiple children’s books about the importance of nutrition and donated them to Gabonese schools. Books are available for purchase here. All proceeds will go to this foundation.
Our efforts are also directed to improve the ability of families in Africa, namely Gabon, to care for children and achieve goals of self-sufficiency. Our work is starting as a small and local investment that we hope will eventually grow to have a larger global impact.
