Universal healthy plant, biologically grown in Kenya
For 5000 years, the plant has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its outstanding nutritional properties and cosmetic benefits. Born in Cameroun and Kenyan by adoption, Jeanne Ngo Yockbag discovered the Moringa during a journey in India and decided to grow it, in respect of the environment.
The Moringa is a universal plant, which can be used fully: root, stem, leave and fruit.

Tea, herbal and spice recipes, made with rigorously selected ingredients, are designed with the help of nutritionists and alternative medicine practitioners.

The firm has 400 employes, from rural community Msambweni (Kenya), a region with over 80% unemployment and is actively involved in reforestation. The farms serve as a refuge for many endangered and rare animal species and a beekeeper manages twenty beehives that house more than one million healthy bees, responsible for the plants pollination.
ME® has already distributed 50,000 Moringa seeds to local community. A training center is currently under construction, where the company plans to pass on its agronomic know-how and is committed in various social and local initiatives, to help underpriviledged and support the most vulnerable, especially women and children.
