Executive Summary
The issue at heart:
Turkana Lake, Kenya
Our solution:
Growing Spirulina
• One of the poorest regions
worldwide with a daily income
of $1.66
• Water is too salty & alkaline
for farming, climate too hot
• Massive malnutrition, whole
region dependent on
development aid
• Highly nutritional and caloriedense Superfood
• Efficient growth under
Turkana’s extreme conditions,
cost-effective production
• Using waste as fertilizer, only
natural and local resources
involved in production

social business experienced
founders
• Strong partner network and

Product – What Spirulina is
Microorganism
• Alga-like microorganism
• Loves high temperatures
• Grows in alkaline and salty
water
PITCH DECK
Agricultural
Good
• 10 -25 times higher yield per
km² compared to corn &
vegetables
• Fast growth and short harvest
cycle (25 days)
• Little water is needed
THRIVING GREEN
Superfood
• Supplement in USA and Europe
• Traditional food in Chad and
Mexico
• High protein content with all
essential amino acids
• Rich in vitamins and micro
nutrients

Product – Why it is the perfect solution
Added Value and benefits for the people in Turkana:
• A new type of food production
• Fighting malnutrition: a healthy source of food is made
available
• Environmental relief through recycling of waste
and fertilizer production
• Economical benefits for local farmers: starting businesses
• Structural development is enabled
Our USP:
• We introduce the world’s most effective food to Kenya
• Kenya’s climate is fatal for conventional agriculture
but ideal for spirulina
• We use waste as a fertilizer (urine, ash, rusty nails)
• We entirely rely on local and natural resources to induce a
life changing alternative source of food

Customers & Market – How we position
Marketing Strategy
• Catholic Mission of Nariokotome helps to
communicate, integrate spirulina into daily life
• Price per 100g unit: $0.23 vs. $0.56 comparable
competitor food: penetration strategy
Strengths
Weaknesses

profile
• Optimal environmental
condition for growth
• Low costs
• Poor network in
Turkana County
SWOT
Analysis
Distribution Strategy
• Sales channels: direct selling to local population
and nomads, market places in Lodwar
