Nilus
Nilus aims to eradicate hunger by lowering the cost of healthy food and groceries for low-income people. Together with WFP, Nilus improves food access by connecting producers directly with schools, community kitchens and vulnerable households, cutting costs by up to 70 percent. Nilus's digital marketplace, Mercadito Nilus, also strengthens supply chains by digitally tracing food purchases, streamlining procurement and improving cost efficiency in a digital marketplace platform. WFP uses the platform to track purchases, monitor nutrition and adjust sourcing based on inventory gaps or price fluctuations, ensuring nutritious meals reach those who need them most.
