Last week, we made history at HelpMum.

We had the honor of receiving representative from (funders of our VaxSocial project) for the official handover of key innovations developed through the project to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Nigeria:
HelpMum Vaccination Tracker
HelpMum Monitoring Dashboard
HelpMum VaxBot (WhatsApp chatbot)
HelpMum VaxAI
HelpMum AI Translator
Government Vaccination Verification System

This milestone fulfills one of HelpMum Africa’s end-game strategies: government adoption.

These solutions are now set to be scaled in Gavi-supported countries to tackle barriers to vaccination and ensure more children are protected from preventable diseases.

Today, the world still faces over 14 million zero-dose children, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Our innovations, Vaxbot and Vaxbot AI, were built to help bridge the gap.

This achievement would not have been possible without the support of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, as well as our partners Merck and Meta. And, of course, the dedicated HelpMum team who turn these ideas into reality.

Here’s towards a future where no child is left behind.

It’s WORLD MOSQUITO DAY and here’s what you should know:

On 22 January 2024, Cameroon became the first country to include the malaria vaccine in its national immunization program.

Africa suffers the heaviest malaria burden globally. In 2022, the continent accounted for 94% of global malaria cases and 95% of malaria-related deaths.

But there’s hope. Today, 21 African countries have integrated the malaria vaccine into their national immunization schedules.

At HelpMum, we celebrate this progress and continue to work towards ensuring every child has access to life-saving vaccines 💚

Two days ago, the HelpMum Team spent the entire day at HelpMum HQ interacting with our investors (Gavi, the vaccine alliance) from Geneva, Switzerland, discussing some of the exciting AI innovations we are developing with their funding support, and planning the next phase of our collaboration for the important work we are doing on Vaxsocial.

We also discussed our methodology, such as the open source strategy for our AI innovations.
At HelpMum, we want to create a strategy around developing open-source AI innovations that can help aid collaboration across the world with developers and organizations using our technology to improve maternal and infant healthcare, and then helping us scale our innovations at massive impact.

Every child deserves the best possible start in life, and immunization is one of the most effective tools to safeguard our children from preventable diseases, helping them grow up healthy and resilient. Nigeria, however, faces a significant challenge, with 2.3 million children remaining unvaccinated each year—representing the largest population of children in the world who have not received a single vaccine. This alarming statistic highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions to improve vaccine access and coverage.

To address this issues the Kano state government has adopted our HelpMum digital innovations (HelpMum vaccination tracker, HelpMum chatbot and HelpMum ADVISER) into their respective primary health care system and we have started the deployment of our digital innovations across all the primary health centers in the state.

This month, our state officers in Kano state visited different primary health centers. During his visit, he interacted with health workers and nursing mothers, introducing them to our innovative tools: the HelpMum Vaccination Tracker, HelpMum Chatbot, and HelpMum ADVISER. He also helped the nursing mothers present at the centers install the HelpMum vaccination tracker and provided access to our HelpMum chatbot on their mobile devices, facilitating easy monitoring of their child's vaccination schedule, access to accurate vaccine information, and timely immunization. Additionally, he also pasted our banners that contains two barcodes that can be scanned for effortless access to our HelpMum Chatbot and HelpMum Vaccination Tracker app.

HelpMum is committed to increasing vaccination rates through innovative digital solutions, with the goal of reducing vaccine-preventable diseases and improving children's health outcomes across Africa.
