Fortify Health aims to improve hundreds of thousands of lives​
​by tackling anaemia and neural tube defects in India,
​through the medium of flour fortification.

​Who are we?

Fortify Health is an iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 fortification initiative, funded by a GiveWell Incubation Grant.

​We are contributing to ongoing efforts to expand fortification of wheat flour - also known as atta - across India, focusing primarily on Maharashtra and West Bengal states, India. ​

What is fortification?

Fortification is the addition of vital micronutrients to food, usually staple foods such as flour or rice. Boosting consumption of these micronutrients, to ensure adequate intake is attained through the existing food supply, ensures long-term health benefits. ​ Our focus is on reducing anaemia and neural tube defects, as well as the downstream consequences of these conditions.
