HAMSI is a groundbreaking baby food brand co-founded by Siman Rachid, an experienced accountant and auditor, and Halimo Abdallah Isman, an engineer specializing in electrical and industrial computing. Based in Djibouti, HAMSI is the first local brand dedicated to baby food, with a mission to celebrate African biodiversity while offering nutritious and natural products for infants. Siman and Halimo combine their expertise to address two goals: promoting healthy infant nutrition and uplifting African culture. Their products are fresh, natural, and additive-free, featuring reimagined traditional recipes developed with the guidance of a childhood nutritionist. HAMSI also meets international food safety standards (HACCP, ISO 22000) and French certifications (NF V90-001), ensuring high-quality and safe alternatives to foreign brands. HAMSI sources its raw materials locally, supporting regional farmers and highlighting the richness of Africa’s ingredients. By doing so, the brand not only offers healthier options for babies but also empowers local communities and reclaims African culinary traditions. HAMSI reflects a vision of an Africa that values its heritage while innovating for the future. Siman and Halimo aim to expand across the continent, making HAMSI a symbol of African pride and excellence. Their slogan, “Superheroes’ Little Jars,” encapsulates their belief that every baby deserves the best start in life.
