Marsabit Launches Camel Milk Protein Bars for School Athletes

Marsabit County rolled out Camel Milk Protein Bars in 50 schools on February 10, 2025—locally made snacks using camel milk, amaranth, and dates to boost nutrition for student-athletes. Developed with JKUAT food scientists, each bar provides 12g protein and iron. Fueling champions starts in the classroom—and the herd, said nutritionist Halima Duba. Early results: 41% improvement in endurance tests. UNICEF is scaling the model to Turkana and Wajir. A women’s co-op now produces 5,000 bars/day, creating 24 jobs.
