2. We have designed a 4g/200ml sachet of ORS for the home treatment of diarrhoea and
this is now being manufactured in Zambia. We believe this is an ‘Africa first’.
4. Kit Yamoyo packaging in store at Pharmanova. This packaging is a triple finalist in the
UK Packaging Awards (14/11/12): best innovation, best new concept and best CSR
initiative.
5. Packing of kits into cartons at Pharmanova for delivery to Medical Stores Limited.
6. We are paying the para-statal, Medical Stores Limited, who are seeking to become
‘more private sector’, to deliver Kit Yamoyos to Coca-Cola wholesalers in Katete &
Kalomo districts.
7. Kit Yamoyo cartons in stock at a Coca-Cola wholesaler. Wholesalers purchase the kits
from the project and make a 20% profit on sales to retailers.
8. Retailers buy Kit Yamoyos from the general wholesaler (who is also the Coca-Cola
wholesaler) when they visit the district town for other supplies.
9. Kit Yamoyos for sale on the shelves in remote rural retail shops. Retailers make a
profit of 35% on the sale of Kit Yamoyos but care-givers get a product the majority can
afford.
11. ColaLife uses mobile phones to: provide an authentication system for the Kit Yamoyos;
to deliver a Special Offer (50% off your next purchase); to allow promoters to activate
vouchers before distribution and for voucher redemption by retailers.
12. The Kit Yamoyo is an innovative product. The packaging is a measure for making the
ORS, it is a mixing device, a storage device and a cup. The ORS sachets make up an
amount of ORS that is appropriate for the home treatment of diarrhoea.
