ZanaAfrica’s commitment to help adolescents know, access and actualize their health and rights, starting with the right to a safe and dignified menstruation is embodied by our real-time digital support tool, Nia HealthLink.

Nia HealthLink provides rights-based reproductive health answers to important questions and connects people to digital and in-person healthcare. This is through a chatbot and a hotline that provides free, real-time answers to reproductive health and rights questions. The Nia HealthLink was based on more than 20,000 anonymous questions about topics like menstruation, consent, bodily changes and more.

Our ambition is to expand access to the Nia HealthLink so that every girl and woman across Kenya, has confidential resources to turn to for support 24 hours a-day, 365-days a week. The Nia HealthLink is just one of the ways that ZanaAfrica is supporting all adolescents and adults to enhance their agency and health outcomes–two critical components of achieving gender equity at scale.
