BeNu Foods is a startup biscuit company located in Ethiopia. The company operates as a social enterprise with a primary focus on producing nutritional biscuits for both children and adults. Their products are specifically designed to provide a high level of nourishment, supplying approximately half of a child's daily calorie requirements.



BeNu Foods takes pride in sourcing all of their raw materials locally, directly from farmers in the region. By doing so, they not only support the local agricultural community but also ensure the freshness and quality of their ingredients. This approach allows BeNu Foods to contribute to the local economy while maintaining the integrity of their biscuit production.

They are dedicated to providing nutritious biscuits to children in need, with the pledge to donate an identical biscuit for every one purchased. By implementing their one-for-one model, BeNu Foods seeks to make a significant impact on the lives of underprivileged children, supporting their educational journey and overall well-being.
