Take a look at this chatbot we are developing with @dalberggroup.bsky.social Data Insights and Design, with funding from @gatesfoundation.bsky.social. Supervising CHWs often means making decisions without actionable data. So, what if we could give supervisors insights at their fingertips?

This week, we say 👋🏽 to Kachengwa & Lawrence as one of our Malawi projects closes. As developers, they did more than write code. They helped build the future of community health, from designing care tools to training health workers and shaping ICHIS into a nationally owned system. We will miss you!

Rattles, books, toy cars, drums — you don’t need a store to spark play! With knowledge and a little creativity, everyday items become tools for learning. In #Tanzania, CHWs are showing caregivers how to turn simple moments into skill-building magic for their kids. A CHW in action in Arusha ⬇️
