Goals

The first round of field work in Kenya provided excellent insights into what works and does not work in East Africa.  The goals for the Mashavu team this year are:

  • Refine technology and concept of operation utilizing feedback.
  • Design, protype and test devices/system.
  • Develop a business plan detailing a feasible Mashavu system that services the individual as well as the greater Mashavu stakeholders.
  • Build stronger relationship with investors, NGO’s, and government entities to support wider dissemination and commercialization.
  • Conduct full scale pilot-test with three Mashavu kiosks, in collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Office (UNIDO), Children and Youth Empowerment Center (CYEC), and African Medical Research Foundation (AMRF).
  • Hire first employee in Kenya for a minimum period of six months. The Mashavu employee will be primarily responsible for monitoring and maintaining the three deployed Mashavu systems and will gather data about CoE compliance issues, challenges and opportunities through observations and face-to-face interviews.
