Job description

ABOUT ADUNA

Aduna is an Africa-inspired health food brand and social business. Our mission is to bring you the natural vitality of Africa’s super-ingredients, while creating sustainable livelihoods for small-scale producers.

Our impact is achieved by creating demand for under-utilised natural products from small producers – starting with the nutrient-rich baobab fruit, moringa leaf and raw cacao, which we sell as superfood powders and raw energy bars.

Once we have created demand, we direct it to remote communities in rural Africa, connecting them directly to the global health food market and creating sustainable income through trade not aid.
