Câm Mooves

This month, we completed our first vaccination campaign in the pastoralist community of Paikon Kore, Gwagwalada.

Earlier this year, The Mulago Foundation visited Câm to learn more about our social impact on pastoralist communities in Nigeria.

Our highest aggregator with almost 7000 litres of milk aggregated. Suleiman is earning 2x more than the average ranger, an amount that is 3x Nigeria’s minimum wage.

One of the first pastoralists to join Câm, Hajiya Safiya is now our highest supplier, with over 2000 Litres supplied since we resumed collection in October. She earns 4x more than the average pastoralist

In 2018, we approached award-winning architects ANA Design. The India-based firm is known for sustainable and innovative commercial builds (including two dairy factories in India) and Nigeria’s waterfront leisure destination, Landmark Boulevard, in Lagos. Our goal was to design a custom-equipped factory capable of turning more than 1,000 litres of raw dairy per hour into fresh milk and yoghurts.

Câm was one of 15 companies selected by IFC’s TechEmerge Program to pilot sustainable cooling technologies.

Rehia runs Elitebox Fitness, a talked-about boxing gym in Lagos that’s attracted global media attention for empowering more Nigerian women to start boxing. He talks to us about his top nutritional tips for people trying to get in shape, plus his favourite oat pancake recipes served with a delicious spoonful of Greek yoghurt.

Since tasting her first spoonful of Câm in January, Dami has become a regular customer and a huge fan of our Greek yoghurt. We caught up with her to chat about her favourite breakfast recipes, where to go for the best hummus in Lagos, and why Greek yoghurt has become the go-to snack for her six-month-old daughter.

This week, we caught up with Yemi to ask about his favourite post-workout breakfast, tips on health and nutrition, and a quick tour of his go-to restaurants in Lagos. Yemi has been a regular customer until his family’s recent move to the United States (we like to think his regular visits home are in part due to our yoghurt).

A fan of our Câm Greek yoghurt, Ms Biola Otufale talks about her favourite smoothie recipes and tips for a successful detox. She also shares insider tips on other Nigerian food brands worth following, from the best place to buy homemade apple pie to a new brand of ready-made cocktails that come in pouches.

How the Mastercard Foundation helped transform the earning potential for pastoralists in Nigeria.

Jonathan was one of the original Câmpions. He was part of a small team that believed in our ambition to create a dairy industry in Nigeria when most people said it was impossible. As one of the first in the door, he remembers the early starts, late nights, constant challenges and endless optimism required to get Câm up and running.

He was there when we signed our first contract with a pastoralist, he helped to project manage the build of our factory in Abuja, and he celebrated with us when we sold our first jar of Greek Style Yoghurt. As the team expanded, he eventually found his place as the logistics and distribution lead. We caught up with him to talk about the journey so far.
