Making healthy eating fun, accessible and affordable all while transforming public health and empowering the female economy in West & Central Africa!
01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail
Yummy Greens is a virtual healthy food restaurant operating in Yaounde, Cameroon, aimed at empowering the female economy and enhancing public health through nutrition. We deliver nutritious, chef-crafted meals (salads, wraps, bowls, juices, smoothies) directly to customers. Our business supports local female farmers by sourcing raw materials and employs 90% women, offering training and development opportunities. We contribute to sustainable development goals related to health, economic growth, gender equality, and reduced inequalities.
01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?
In major African cities, escalating health issues like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes are worsened by limited access to affordable and healthy food options. Traditional meals often lack healthy preparation methods, the widely available current fast food options are also unhealthy and international cuisines are prohibitively expensive. Yummy Greens addresses this gap by offering convenient, health-conscious meal options during peak lunch hours for busy professionals and students.
