That's the idea behind KUTOA health bars, [handmade energy bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-grains-energy-bars) that operate on a buy one, give one model. Launched in 2011 and based in San Francisco, KUTOA health bars are 100% natural and a delicious source of energy. Staying true to their name -- KUTOA means "to give" in Swahili -- the founders have integrated giving in the heart of their mission, giving a health pack to a child in need with each purpose. "It is a company that empowers people," the site says. "When you purchase a KUTOA Health Bar, you are not only making a health conscious decision in your own life, you are also giving health to hungry child. The health you give this child will empower them to live a healthy life, go to school, and become a contributing member of their community." They are partnered with the World Food Program, a US-based nonprofit aiming to end global hunger. The nutrition packs they supply are rich in micronutrients, vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy body and mind for children from six months old to four years old. **Contact Information** KUTOA health bars [website](http://kutoa.com/) KUTOA health bars on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/KutoaBars) KUTOA health bars on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/kutoabars) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Buy One, Give One Model:** Creating a business model that incorporates giving back to those in need with each purchase of a product or service. - **Handmade Energy Bars:** Producing and selling energy bars that are made from natural ingredients and provide a delicious source of energy. - **Partnerships with Nonprofits:** Collaborating with nonprofit organizations to support a cause and make a positive impact in the world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Exploring innovative ways to create and market healthy snacks to consumers. - **Nonprofit and Philanthropy:** Utilizing business strategies to support charitable causes and address social issues. - **Health and Wellness:** Integrating nutrition and well-being into products and services to promote a healthy lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Purpose-Led Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madagascar-vanilla-snack-bar.md) - [Kid-Friendly Nutritional Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutritional-bars-for-kids.md) - [Refugee-Supporting Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-choose-love.md) - [Nutritious Breakfast Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-energy-bar-peanut-chocolate-bar.md) - [Unbaked Four-Ingredient Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eattoheal-real-food-bars.md) - [Purpose-Driven Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirtbag-bar.md) - [Convenient Kid-Focused Snack Options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-kids.md) - [Nutritious Five-Ingredient Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-bar.md) - [Organic Plant-Based Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-plantbased-protein-bars.md)
