“Couscous seasoned with moringa powder is the new rice”
Alimentary and nutritional situation of Malagasy people is worrying while nutrition is a key determinant of health. Reducing the risk of intergenerational transmission of poverty can thus be done by breaking the cycle of malnutrition and health problems. Hence this project aims to sensibilize people and then give them a professional formation about cassava transformation into couscous before assaisoning it with moringa to have a healthy and complete meal.
The SOATSARA Antsirabe Company is a producer of essential oils of aromatic and medicinal plants. It contributes to rural and social development by creating employment and income for the farmers and especially the vulnerable. It also contributes to the protection of the environment: production and distribution of young plants to farmers. Raising awareness and participating in reforestation are part of its activities. Today, the company is present on the local and international markets. Moringa is one of its products. The company works in collaboration with ONN. It will therefore be in charge of information sessions and professional training based on Moringa and will also supply Moringa.
Created in Antsirabe in 2003, the center obtained its approval from the Secretary of State in charge of Technical Education and Vocational Training in 2009. The center offers professional training specialized in processing, conservation and production of food products based on raw materials from the city of Madagascar. The CFP NOLI is certified in its activities and a good number of people have already benefited from its services since its opening. Its beneficiaries are today in full bloom and are economically independent in their daily life. The CFP NOLI will therefore be in charge of information sessions and vocational training based on cassava.
