WISHH consultant Brian Harrigan from Malnutrition Matters helped install and train staff on the use of a SoyCow soymilk system as part of a nutrition and small business center. Africare Nigeria partnered with a large Community near Port Harcourt by providing the SoyCow, with the Community responsible for infrastructure, operational and product distribution costs. Africare anticipates that demand for the technology will be high in Nigeria, a country that already produces soya, but that has a large yearly shortfall that is filled mainly with US imports of soybean meal. The soymilk beverages, tofu, yogurts and soybean fiber products were all very popular with children and adults alike.
