About This Project

Summary

Working with a youth co-creation team from Nairobi and Migori, we unearthed key insights specific to our audience. They wanted something that felt open, while remaining confidential, that drew them in in a language they used. This focused our strategy into creating a “space for you” (or Space Yako). Wazzii, became home to a Whatsapp chatbot, and via USSD messenger for those with limited internet access. The campaign was executed through an integrated digital experience- Podcast, TikTok challe

Goals & Objectives

We had 5 months to meet our targets: 40,000 chatbot users 10,000 users seeking SRH services We created WAZZII so that young people could have a safe space to explore their curiosities around sex and SRH. We wanted to get them talking about SRH, seeking our services and owning their journeys.
