SEE ALLSokoto has one of the lowest child immunization rates in the world with only 1 in 10 children successfully completing their first year of immunizations. This significantly contributes to Nigeria's poor immunization indices. Faced with limited local record-keeping, literacy & internet connectivity in the state, Black Swan Tech's WeMUNIZE uses a combination of digital record keeping & community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. Coordinating with state government and local partners, WeMUNIZE sends robocalls voiced by community leaders, and SMS, to caregivers; urging them to immunize their children. Volunteers use WeMUNIZE to digitally record immunization information, then take & print a photo of the child as an effective incentive to caregivers for repeat visits. Records are monitored resulting in the reduction of dropout rates to 10%.
