- Moringa Initiative Ltd. was established in February, 2013, when we leased a beautiful farm in Chisamba, Zambia. The farm had been in a dormant state for a couple of decades. We treated the land with love and care, and now have 25 hectares of beautiful Moringa.
- Our proudly Zambian Moringa Oleifera is an exceptional plant with a long heritage. Originally native to India, where it has grown for thousands of years in the foothills of the Himalayas. It has moved across the world and is now found in Africa and Central America.
- When ready, we process the leaves into Moringa Powder, Tea and Capsules. Our Capsules are manufactured by a reputable medical company here in Zambia. Health and quality living are our way of life. To ensure our standards are never let down, the entire production process is strictly monitored.
