What specific problem are you solving?
Bangladesh has the highest rate of child marriage in Asia and ranks 8th globally. 51% or over 38 million women were married before 18—13 million before 15—entering sexual, maternal, and parenting journeys with little or no access to accurate sexual and reproductive health information. This lack of knowledge leads to complications, trauma, and long-term risks.
But the suffering doesn’t end there. Across every stage—puberty, pregnancy, and parenting—girls and women lack safe access to essential care, trusted information, and support. There are only 6 doctors for every 10,000 people, making healthcare both inaccessible and unaffordable. Digital health platforms largely ignore rural and underserved communities, deepening the divide.
There is also no safe space to talk about physical or mental health. Fear of judgment, Social taboos, religious barriers, and family pressure dominate the conversation around women’s health. As a result, suffering becomes generational, and preventable conditions become life-threatening. Due to a lack of judgment-free support and family planning, 2.63 million pregnancies are unintended each year, and 1.58 million end in abortion—mostly unsafe.
This is the reality we are solving: a dangerous, silent cycle of discrimination, poor health, and isolation—where support is missing at every stage of a woman’s journey.
What is your solution?
MommyKidz is a data-driven, community-led mobile app reimagining how girls and women access care—from puberty to pregnancy to parenting.
It creates a private, judgment-free space where users can ask anonymous questions, share images, and receive doctor and expert advice. Built-in tools include a period tracker with daily health info, a fetal tracker with life-saving alerts, and a baby growth tracker—alongside a growing set of AI-powered voice tools and self-care tools aimed at preventive care and reducing maternal and child deaths and reducing illnesses with early insights even in low-literacy user bases. Users can also access affordable doctor consultations starting from $0.03, chat with pharmacists or shop assistants, and soon explore a local-language video library with puppet storytelling and real-life stories.
A rural digital access model (Community Bondhu) powers last-mile care. We’ve successfully piloted a system where trained local women act as trusted health facilitators in underserved villages. Each Bondhu is equipped with a shared digital device and diagnostic tools—BP monitor, fetal doppler, glucometer, thermometer, and more. They update vital health data, guide women through the app, book doctor consultations, deliver hygiene products, and ensure digital health reaches even those without smartphones or literacy.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
MommyKidz serves adolescent girls, young women, and mothers across Bangladesh, especially in rural areas where healthcare is limited, costly, and often judgmental. Most of these women grow up never learning how their bodies work. They are isolated by stigma, silenced by shame, and ignored by formal systems.
MommyKidz changes that every girl or woman who fears asking for help can now ask questions or share photos of symptoms—anonymously and get trusted advice from doctors and experts. A girl silently suffering through her period can now find answers in her language, privately and without fear. A lonely mother can connect with peers and trained health leaders. A woman who would’ve traveled hours to see a doctor—and doesn’t have the digital skills or a smartphone—now gets support at her doorstep through a Community Bondhu, with access to digital health services even without a device.
So far, we’ve supported 40,000+ users, answered 196,000+ health queries, and reached millions with educational content. In our rural pilot, we trained 7 community leaders and served 800+ women in just 2 months.
This support reduces preventable complications and empowers women to make informed decisions about their bodies and babies. It restores dignity, confidence, and connection.
