This simple box gave me confidence and income. It helps my family eat and grow.

Empowering vendors with every vegetable saved.

The Problem

Post-harvest loss is hurting livelihoods.
Every year, 40% of vegetables in Tanzania spoil before they’re sold — costing women vendors over 26 billion TZS and worsening food insecurity.

The Solution

Smart cooling. No electricity. Real results.
Our patented Freshpack box uses water-based fabric technology to keep vegetables fresh for up to 4 extra days — reducing spoilage by 30%, increasing vendor profits, and making food go further.
