@FoundersPledge recommended Nigerian-American nonprofit tackling childhood malnutrition through treatment and innovation. Malnutrition is the leading cause of under-five childhood deaths globally. Taimaka is changing that by accelerating innovation. Acute malnutrition is the leading cause of under-five childhood deaths because only 25% of children get treatment. We reaching the other 75% through treatment in neglected geographies and innovations that make treatment better. Taimaka operates in northeastern Nigeria, where we 1) treat thousands of children with acute malnutrition and 2) incubate cost-effective interventions, designed to improve the cost and quality of malnutrition treatment globally. We have received acclaim from Founders Pledge, which recommends us as an early-stage charity; USAID, which funded us through its Feed the Future program; and the Center for Effective Global Action at U.C. Berkeley who wrote that Taimaka combines the rigor of academia with the dynamism of a startup.
