What specific problem are you solving?
Across Africa, millions of girls and women lack access to accurate sexual and reproductive health information and services, resulting in poor health outcomes, misinformation, and stigma. In Nigeria alone, over 37 million girls and women face barriers to managing their menstrual health with dignity. Less than 40 percent of young women have comprehensive knowledge of HIV, and only 14 percent have access to period tracking tools or digital health support. In rural communities, the challenge is even greater, with limited access to care, education, and safe products.
This lack of personalized health information contributes to high rates of untreated STIs, unplanned pregnancies, and school absenteeism during menstruation. The problem is not just about products or education in isolation. It is about the absence of continuous, tailored support that meets young women where they are digitally and culturally.
We are solving this problem by providing women with access to Venille AI, a multilingual digital health companion that combines menstrual tracking, reproductive education, and behavioral guidance. It empowers users to take charge of their health privately and confidently, while addressing the systemic barriers that have left millions behind.
What is your solution?
Venille AI is a smart, digital health companion that provides women and girls with personalized support for menstrual and sexual wellness. It works through a mobile app and WhatsApp integration, allowing users to track their monthly periods, receive reminders, access sexual health education, and get guidance on issues like STIs, contraception, and safe sex practices.
The platform uses a simple AI engine to analyze user inputs and send tailored messages, educational prompts, and behavior nudges. These features are delivered through conversational interfaces and visual storytelling that reflect local cultures and languages. For users in rural or low-data areas, WhatsApp access ensures the experience remains light and accessible.
Venille AI also connects users to a range of physical and digital services, including Venille’s biodegradable sanitary pads, made from banana fiber and agro-waste. These pads offer an optional, eco-friendly menstrual care product that complements the app’s health guidance.
Our solution leverages low-bandwidth technologies, data analytics, and inclusive design to ensure that women and girls, regardless of location or income, can manage their health with dignity, confidence, and privacy.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution is designed to serve adolescent girls and young women in underserved African communities, especially in Nigeria, who face persistent gaps in access to menstrual health support, sexual education, and safe products. Many of them live in rural or peri-urban areas, lack formal health education, and face social stigma when seeking sexual or reproductive health information.
These young women are often navigating puberty, menstruation, and sexual relationships without guidance or resources. Many miss school during their periods, suffer untreated STIs, or make uninformed health decisions due to shame, silence, or misinformation.
Venille AI empowers them with a private, easy-to-use digital platform that delivers personalized period tracking, sexual health education, and safe sex guidance. By using culturally relevant language and accessible channels like WhatsApp, the platform meets them where they are—digitally and socially.
In addition, those who opt in can access Venille’s biodegradable pads, reducing reliance on unhygienic alternatives and supporting both their health and dignity. Our solution does not just provide tools, it builds confidence, improves knowledge, and helps users make informed decisions about their bodies and futures.
