A Mile for the Brain: Social Entrepreneurship in Providing Last Mile Access of Enhanced Complementary Foods for Weaning Babies in Rural Areas

This model leverages women's social networks to extend supply chain at the last mile in delivery of enhanced complementary foods to mothers of children aged 6-24 months. Bulky enhanced commercially available complementary food is hygienically re-packaged to small quantities, and sold door to door by trained women entrepreneurs. The women entrepreneurs train mothers on proper food nutrition and age-appropriate complementary foods.
