Scaling Maternal & Reproductive Health for Underserved Communities Through AI
Scaling Maternal & Reproductive Health for Underserved Communities Through AI
The problem they solve
Women and girls in underserved communities across East Africa face persistent barriers to maternal and reproductive healthcare: long distances to clinics, shortages of skilled providers, cultural stigma around SRH topics, and limited access to hygiene products. These challenges contribute to preventable infections, maternal complications, and high rates of menstrual-related school absenteeism.
Their solution
Bulamu Bridge AI integrates three high-impact components into one scalable model:
AI-powered maternal and reproductive health guidance in local languages, accessible on low-tech devices.
Locally manufactured mama kits and menstrual hygiene kits that support safe delivery and menstrual dignity.
A network of 150+ community health workers ensuring last-mile delivery, health education, and follow-up support.
This hybrid approach improves hygiene, strengthens antenatal and postnatal care, and provides adolescents with safe, private access to SRH education.
Traction
● 300,000+ women and girls reached
● 80,000+ hygiene and mama kits distributed
● 40% reduction in menstrual-related absenteeism across 60 districts
● 15,000+ monthly digital interactions with their AI-powered platform
● Partnerships with 30+ schools and clinics

With maternal mortality rates and menstrual inequities disproportionately affecting rural and low-income women, Bulamu Bridge AI offers an urgently needed, scalable solution. By combining AI technology, local manufacturing, and community-led delivery, the platform ensures safe, dignified, and context-appropriate care at the last mile. Their model has proven impact and strong expansion potential across East Africa.
