About Fortify Health

Fortify Health has a vision for a healthier world where everyone has the micronutrients they need to survive and thrive. We work toward this by enabling access to micronutrient-rich wheat flour to reduce and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. We currently work in many regions across India but are planning to expand to new regions in the coming years.

Fortify Health operates through three work streams:

  1. Open Market Support: We support millers to cost-neutrally fortify chakki atta in the open market. Details of the regions we operate in and our beneficiaries can be found here.
  2. Government Partnership Support: We work with governments in India to mainstream wheat flour fortification through social safety net programs
  3. Evidence Generation: We conduct monitoring and evaluation of activities to inform the public about the value of food fortification
