This Cookie is Fighting Malnutrition in Kenya
Open in Clue About this video
What if a cookie could fight malnutrition? In coastal Kenya, one man turned a homemade fish-based snack into a powerful tool against hunger. This true story follows Francis Thoya, a former event planner whose journey through loss and resilience led to a protein-rich biscuit now feeding families across Africa. Rooted in local cuisine and crafted from traditional food recipes, Samaki Cookies are more than just a clever innovation, they’re a reminder that real change can start with something as small (and crunchy) as a cookie. This is a Great Big Story documentary about innovation, nutrition, and the incredible things that can happen when a community comes together for change 00:00 – Introduction 00:16 – Meet the Founder 00:51 – How It’s Made 02:14 – Enter Pwani University 02:57 – Francis’s Motivation #nutrition #africa #recipe #truestory #greatbigstory #realstory #documentary #innovation Welcome to Great Big Story — Where the extraordinary hides in plain sight.
