01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Zoe delicacies is providing healthy organic snacks for families and students. With the first growing population in Uganda and increase in the busy schedules of most mother's, a snack saves the day when not only for the mother but also the child. A snack keeps a student busy and focused during examination periods and due to these busy schedules most people miss out on a health meal. We are focusing on a ensuring a busy career woman is not worried about the health of the children through providing snacks which contain purely organic ingredients which are good for their childrens' health.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

Every body eats a snack, everyone wants something quick they can grab as they travel, something they can pack for their children or something they can chew on as they study to keep them awake or concentrating, it's okay to have this but it better be healthy and nutritious, and this is what Zoe delicacies provides. A delicious and nutritious snack made with natural ingredients for your enjoyment and health. In our snacks we have Ground nuts and seeds of pumpkins, the pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc which is important in the prostate health of men and Ground nuts are good source of energy for both the brain and body, not forgetting the incredible ability of ground nuts to cure heartburn. This is what Zoe delicacies provides

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

Our targeted beneficiaries and firstly school going children. Every child needs something they can chew on during break time, something nice but as a parent it's important to note that not all nice is healthy, we come in to bridge the gap between nice and healthy. Our second target is travellers and office or career people. These two groups always tend to sit for long hours and will need something to eat to keep them focused Then the other group are those people who want something quick to kill the hunger
