Heinz Company Foundation that is combating malnutrition in        developing nations, today announced a partnership in Tanzania, bringing        the program to Africa for the first time. The HMC has awarded a grant that establishes a research partnership with        the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania and Michigan State        University. The grant will enable researchers to study the efficacy of low-cost        vitamin and mineral supplements for children ages 6-24 months in a        region of the world with the highest prevalence of iron deficiency        anemia. A second part of the grant will enable Sokoine to further        develop a bean-based, vitamin-fortified powder targeted to children over        two years of age. This powder, which contains plant and fish proteins,        has demonstrated the potential to become a low-cost solution to chronic        malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa.
