Step 1: The MTK's team of nutritionists, doctors and dieticians study a region's local cuisine, food cultures, eating habits and costs. Research is then done to understand and fulfil the dietary requirements of the community, contributing towards preventing nutrition-related diseases whilst creating low-cost recipes.

Step 2: The team share their knowledge and skills by training local volunteers. They, in turn, pass these learning points on to the beneficiaries, showing them how to cook a nutritious meal and delivering simple dietary messages around this. This step leads to the creation of MTK Champions, ready to improve the diet of their community.

Step 3: Implementation of the SODOTO model: See one, Do one and Teach one. The "See one" step involves participants observing how to cook the meal, taking on board the process and nutrition advice given. "Do one" consists in getting hands-on, cooking the meal themselves, again listening to the advice they would give and confirming their understanding. "Teach one" involves getting together with the community and showing all that they have learned up to this point.

Step 4: By the end of three training sessions, the participants can teach others about their newfound knowledge and culinary skills. With some minor further training, they can establish a selling platform to sustain the project's impact, selling healthy food with a side dish of nutrition education.

​

Step 5: The Champions receive microentrepreneurship, project management, and event planning training. With the newly acquired knowledge, the participants can set up small businesses and generate a livelihood for themselves and their families.
