Aurat Raaj hosted a workshop last month introducing Rumie bytes to their community of learners. As a post-workshop activity, the learners went into their own respective communities to do a byte ‘reading party’ and spread the knowledge from their byte. @RaajiTheChatbot

In Pakistan, @RaajiTheChatbot, a Roddenberry grantee, is empowering rural communities via technology to educate girls on health, hygiene, and safety. Having reached 50,000+ girls, they plan to expand pilots to Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda.

Shabana is one of the many examples of what women are capable of when equipped with the right knowledge and resources, and we're glad our Raaji Pads were a catalyst in helping her live up to her desire to innovate!

At present, almost 50 digital champions from villages all across rural Sindh have educated 4500+ women on 10 reproductive health topics, and the hard work continues with more listening parties in full swing!
The impact from the resilience will be felt by generations to come⭐️

@RaajiTheChatbot one of Rumie’s partner organizations in Pakistan, has been building some very informative bytes on topics of women’s health, hygiene & safety.
We wanted to highlight this byte created by Aurat Raaj today:

An important part of our trip to Rural Sindh was introducing our champions to the Raaji Pads and asking them to deliver their feedback. We hope to build an Avon model where our champions sell these menstrual pads in their communities!

When we set out to make digital literacy a possibility for the rural women of Sindh, we were met with so much enthusiasm and passion. Helping these women reach their full digital potential with our partners has been a great pleasure!

Why is digital inclusion important for rural women? The answer is we believe in rural leaders, because they wield the power to change the world, as well as the ability to use tech and bring awareness!

Our favourite part of the trainings is making rural women and girls laugh and boosting their learning. They are now prepared to raise awareness in their villages about reproductive health and safety.
