Meet student intern Kathryn. In Mwanza, Tanzania she had the opportunity to assist with implementing yoghurt marketing strategies and nutritional development.

She was involved with testing the probiotic yoghurt fortified with a highly nutritious local plant called moringa. Kathryn also did some sensory testing to learn about the acceptability in Tanzanian culture of consuming moringa in the probiotic yoghurt.

When added in amounts to confer the maximum health benefits, the moringa yoghurt has more of the consistency of a dip. The next step will be to look at local uses of this dip with chapattis and other foods. Read about her internship with the WHE project here.

"Marketing of the yoghurt would be greatly helped by increasing brand recognition, so even having some with labels could help spread the word." - Kathryn
