Univ Graduate launches Mamaby
Univ DPhil graduate Elina Naydenova (2013, Healthcare Innovation) is one of the founders of a new social enterprise that will help to support the work of community health groups in Mumbai slums.
Univ has recently become partners with a young social enterprise called聽Mamaby. Univ DPhil student in Healthcare Innovation聽Elina Naydenova聽(2013, MPLS/Engineering), University of Warwick Mathematics and Physics graduate聽Adam Bacon, and recent DPhil graduate in Biomedical/Medical Engineering聽Arvind Raghu聽(2010, Worcester) have聽founded Mamaby to ‘harness consumer power for social change’. Elina was inspired to set up Mamaby after visiting Mumbai slums during a research study, where she met many malnourished pregnant women and children.
Mamaby produces naturally healthy on-the-go food with flavours from around the world.聽Mamaby’s first product is a juicy baked vegetable samosa 鈥� healthy, nutritious and with 100 percent natural ingredients. The samosas are made in 糖心logo and Univ will be Mamaby鈥檚 first customer. The samosas will be on sale in the Buttery, available to all students, Fellows, staff and visitors to the College.
100 percent of profits will go towards聽helping pregnant women in Indian slums carry and deliver healthy babies. Mamaby will work with local partners in India to run community health groups for pregnant women in the slums, providing them with proven nutrition, affordable diagnostics and health education. They will also enjoy a healthy samosa which has been developed and tested at Southampton University and the Centre for the Study of Social Change,聽and which is clinically proven to help pregnant women and their babies.
