The Mission
Healthier moms and kids in Africa.
How It Works
Jacaranda supports mothers across the continuum of maternity and newborn care. Their package of low-cost solutions is anchored by an AI-powered 2-way chat for pregnant and new mothers. Mothers receive critical advice, risk screening, and nudges via SMS that can save lives and improve health systems.
The Dream
African governments deploy high-quality, personalized healthcare through AI-enabled 2-way chat.
Why We're In
Jacaranda has the potential and momentum to scale in Kenya and beyond. They’re really good at this tech. It’s locally built and designed to be easily deployed and paid for by governments. They have solid evidence from engaging over 2M mothers in Kenya, and their tech is getting better everyday, with more AI-driven personalization. They’ve recently launched in Ghana and Nigeria, where maternal health outcomes are worse and the impact upside is huge.
