Taimaka

Taimaka has reimagined pediatric malnutrition treatment to make it more cost-effective and scalable. We’ve developed a malnutrition treatment model that is:

1. 53% cheaper than legacy approaches and:
2. Leverages digitally-enabled community health workers (CHWs) to deliver care to the most vulnerable communities. 

So far, we’ve used our model to treat 6,000+ children out of existing government hospitals in northeastern Nigeria with world-class recovery rates of 95%+. Our track record has led charity evaluators like Founder’s Pledge to identify us as one of the most cost-effective nonprofits in global health, with a cost-per-life saved of $1,644. Over the next five years, we’re on track to expand our program to treat tens of thousands of children, while helping governments revamp their outdated programs so that they can double the number of children they reach.
