mHealth Project Launching: $1M Here We Come
At Kilifi Kids, we’ve been focused on our Mobile Health pilot project for a while now, and things are coming together. We will be using Kilifi’s highly functional cell phone coverage to improve the delivery of healthcare and attack malnutrition for about 25,000 kids. This is a big deal.
We’ve just started the second phase. Our long-term goal is to raise $1 million over three years. See more updates at our blog.
The Magic of Kilifi Kids
As you may know, Kilifi Kids is a partnership of young professionals in Kenya, England and the US working to improve the health and education of kids in Kilifi, Kenya. But our strength—what makes us different—is the diversity of our team. We have finance experts, entrepreneurs, world-class medical researchers, public health professionals, IT experts, international nonprofit coordinators, and government officials. In the US, our active volunteers span 6 states and our donors 25 states. We have a slew of partner organizations (especially Rotary International) who do wonderful work in concert with our efforts.
What’s so exciting is that we’re all volunteers. We use our passions and unique professional abilities to make a meaningful contribution to Kilifi and the world.
