SaiSure health mix, a nutritious supplement is a quick and scalable solution to address malnutrition. Formulated by Annapoorna Trust, it is designed to meet the macro and the micronutrients essential for healthy growth of the children.

Providing the fundamental rights to every child, like right to nutrition, education and good health, is not merely the responsibility of the parents, the government, but it is the responsibility of the society at large and as long as these three units – the Samaja (society), the Sarkara (governments), and Sanstha (institutions) – work together, much can be done.
