With the mobile technology performing all the administration activities of the insurer, the App has already touched the lives of more than 8,000 families by making the health insurance affordable.

Despite making marginal profit from the App, she has also managed to put her efforts and energy to it since she believe that, it is only Africans that can change Africa for the better.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Master’s degree in Information Systems from Kampala International University, she saw a stereotype that girls are not good at Science, Technology and Math (STEM) hence came up with a mission to make girls tech leaders teaching them how to create Mobile Apps, how to build website and work with programs and this has been done through coding clubs in schools, where girls between the ages of 10 to 18 learn the basics and do real coding later on.

She believes in empowering girls with ICT skills because she trusts in their capacity and innovation power to change the community and build an innovative generation hence making Tanzania a better place for all despite their gender.

Carolyne is a Tigo and Reach for change Digital change maker and was awarded a certificate of achievement in 2014 for her great efforts in improving children’s lives through innovation and digital technology at the Hackathon Prototype Change 2014 in Sweden.

As a Nutritionist by profession, Neema had an ambition to provide services continuously and reach as many people as possible and the easy way possible was for her to design an innovative digital tool kit that will provide mobile nutrition information.

Through her company Afya Slice, Neema started to provide information on how to use the available local foods to improve nutritional status of children.

She says AfyaSlice came like an idea while she was working at the hospital and doing nutrition consultancy. She says after working in this field for a while, she observed that due to some reasons, some of her clients could not manage to come and see her physically for the training or counselling.

She says her customers used to call or text and ask all the questions and she responded through the same channel. That’s where she thought she should use mobile technology to deliver information, communicate with clients, change their lifestyles and make money out of the whole idea.

After graduating from Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro, she pursued a Master’s degree in Food and Nutritional Sciences from 2012 to 2014 through the USAID project’s sponsorship at Tuskegee University in the United States.

Her experience in the US inspired Shosho’s work. In addition to her advocacy initiatives that ensure children are not underfed, she also teaches basic nutrition and the avoidance of over nutrition to her clients.

A Woman Selling her Kidney for 4.3mTshs to Pay Daughter’s Varsity Fees

0

A  woman in Kilifi  Kenya, is selling her kidney for 4.3million Tshs(2million Kshs) to enable her daughter complete her medicine degree in China. Eunice Msagha, 45, said she decided to sell the organ after failing to get a loan to pay Nancy Waithera’s fees. Waithera is in her third year at Xuzhou Medical University and needs Sh2.4 million Tshs to complete her programme in three years. She risks being deported if she fails to pay her third year fees.

Msagha separated from her husband 10 years ago and he has declined to support their children’s education. “Though we got separated, we agreed we would take annual turns to pay the fees. I paid for the first year but when his turn came, he declined to pay and even blocked my number so I could not contact him,” she told journalists at her home on Thursday.

Image result for KIDNEY FOR SELL

Msagha’s son Peter Macharia was admitted at Egerton University but has not enrolled. On Wednesday, Msagha visited Aga Khan Hospital in Mombasa to sell the kidney but was told they did not have a patient in need. In her commitment letter, she says:

“Sh1.8 million should be deposited into my daughter’s bank account while Sh200,000 should be deposited into my son’s account so he can take care of himself as I recuperate.

“In the event that I die while undergoing the operation, the doctor should sell the other kidney at Sh2 million Kshand deposit the money into my son’s bank account.”

Msagha said she made the decision after her daughter threatened to sell her own kidney to pay the fees. “I advised my daughter not to sell her kidney … [she] is only 21 years. She still has a lot to do in life unlike me,” she said.


For the two years, Msagha paid the fees for her daughter after getting a loan from her employer, Barclays Bank. “After hitting a snag, I went back to my employer but I could not get a loan due to a change in policy. I am employed on contract…the bank cannot give a loan to an employee on contract,” she said. “They advised me to apply for the bank’s scholarship but my daughter was not eligible as the bank only gives scholarships to students in Kenyan universities.” Waithera told The Star on phone she might be deported next week. “I have been given up to Thursday because they are saying I cannot live in my dormitory because I have not paid. My documents do not allow me to be out of the university without permission so I can’t live anywhere else. That’s why they want to deport me.” The girl joined the university in September 2015 for the five-year course in medicine and a one-year internship. Donations can be sent to Waithera’s account at Barclays Bank, Kilifi branch. The account name is Nancy Waithera Macharia and the account number is 2034421423.
