Welcome to Gangarru Africa
Happy Parents. Healthy, Thriving Babies.
At Gangarru Africa, we believe in a world where every baby, no matter where they are born, deserves the best start in life. Beginning in Tanzania, we are reshaping maternal and newborn care by offering life-changing solutions for families in regions with limited access to healthcare. Our mission is simple yet profound: to save lives by providing innovative, life-changing solutions to the health challenges faced by mothers and newborns in underserved regions.
Our flagship product, the Gangarru Carriers, are designed to nurture both parent and child through the transformative power of Kangaroo Care (KC)—a method proven to improve survival rates and holistic development in premature or low-birth-weight infants.
Because every baby deserves the best start in life.
It’s not just a carrier; it’s a lifeline. Studies have shown that carrying infants in a supportive, skin-to-skin manner significantly enhances their physical, mental, and emotional development. Our carriers provide convenience and comfort for parents while ensuring optimal care for their babies.
Effortless Kangaroo Care, Wherever You Are
Rooted in the ancient practice of baby-wearing, our carriers facilitate attachment between caregivers and newborns, fostering secure growth and development. Our carriers are not just another baby product. Our solution supports the World Health Organisation’s recommendation to move towards using solutions that support infant-caregiver attachment and immediate initiation of Kangaroo care for babies born too soon or too small for 8-24 HOURS/DAY (Updated guidelines 2022) that can save more than 75% of premature babies with a feasible, cost-effective intervention. Through Kangaroo Care, babies receive the warmth, safety, and love they need to thrive.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
Gangarru carriers make Kangaroo Care accessible and easy for all parents, even in challenging circumstances. With our carriers, families can embrace this evidence-based practice, proven to reduce neonatal mortality and promote secure, healthy growth in infants, especially those born too small or too soon. By making Kangaroo Care easy, we are not only nurturing newborns but also contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3: ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all. It’s more than a carrier—it’s a path to healthier futures for mothers and babies alike. All our carriers are locally made by women from low-economic settings, creating jobs, improving living standards, and advancing Sustainable Development Goal 8 by promoting sustainable economic growth.
More than just a carrier-Ni zaidi ya kibebeo
At Gangarru Africa, we don’t just create products—we create opportunities for healthier, happier families. Our work is anchored in Kangaroo Care, a proven practice that promotes skin-to-skin contact between parents and newborns. By offering innovative baby carriers designed for this essential practice, we provide parents with the tools they need to care for their babies, even in resource-limited settings.
