Promoting global initiatives for the prevention and cure of
iron-deficiency anemia

GIWWA has a simple and clear purpose – to accelerate the end of iron-deficiency anemia, the most common nutritional disorder in the world. 

Our goal is to do this through the development of natural and affordable iron-enriched food products using heme iron from animal blood, a by product of slaughterhouses. Heme iron has a high absorption rate, making it an incredibly efficient way to combat anemia. By enriching food with aseptically treated blood, we can ensure that people in developing countries get the nutrition they so desperately need.

Our unique solution is twofold – reusing the by-products from slaughterhouses in the fight against anemia also means diverting hazardous substances from polluting the environment. 

We are excited about the potential impact of this project and want to bring together as many stakeholders as possible in order to reach our mission: a world without anemia.
