CHI-APP

Public-health programs in low-resource regions fail in three predictable ways: CSR funders lose visibility after deployment and stop renewing, foreign-led programs disappear when the corporation leaves the region, and local orgs lack the resources to run programs of their own.

I founded Project Kilimanjaro in 2018 and built CHI-APP to address all three. The platform templated public-health interventions focused on financial empowerment and program sustainability, including job facilitation and healthcare access programs. We sold to corporations as the funding source and routed the actual programs to grassroots organizations who had the local trust and operational presence to run them. The platform tracked outcomes and reported back to funders, which closed the visibility gap that had been killing recurring CSR commitments.

One deployment was menstrual health programming, run with Saathi Pads in India and Elle Peut Naidim in Tanzania. Each reached more than 5,000 participants, and the platform ran from 2018 through 2021.
