Our Story
From Makueni to Your Table
A journey of turning waste into wealth while combating malnutrition in Kenya.
Youth Agribusiness
Innovators Award
Transforming Surplus into Sustenance
In Makueni County—Kenya's leading mango producer with over 4.3 million trees—up to 40% of the harvest went to waste each year. Judy Mwende Mutunga grew up watching tonnes of nutritious fruit rot while communities elsewhere faced malnutrition.
In 2020, she founded Ustawi Foods Limited, a social enterprise that transforms surplus mangoes and indigenous crops into nutrient-rich products. The name "Ustawi" means "well-being" in Swahili—capturing our mission to nourish both people and the planet.
Today, Ustawi sources from over 500 farmers across Makueni, creating jobs for youth, supporting parents to educate their children, and delivering precooked, natural food products that are healthy, affordable, and ready in minutes.

"In Makueni, we produce a lot of mangoes. During the season, so many go to waste, yet people elsewhere face malnutrition. For women and youth in business, it's about resilience and grinding—there is no giving up."
