Living Goods’ vision is a world where every family can easily access the healthcare they need to survive and thrive. The organization achieves this by supporting networks of government-supported, tech-enabled, performance-driven community health workers (CHWs) to go door-to-door teaching families how to improve their health and diagnosing, treating, and/or referring children for basic illness. Living Goods-supported CHWs focus on: 1. Defeating childhood diseases: CHWs educate families on how to prevent the leading killers of children under-five: malaria, diarrheal disease, and pneumonia. When a child falls ill, Living Goods-supported CHWs provide prompt diagnosis using our smart Android app. They are equipped with key tools such as rapid diagnostic tests for malaria along with essential medicines to safely treat the illnesses they find. The app sends automatic daily text reminders to ensure patients complete the full course of treatment. The system flags acute cases for immediate referral to a qualified facility. CHWs follow up with referrals within 48 hours to ensure the patients received proper care and are fully recovered. We focus on kids under five and especially newborns, who are at the greatest risk. 2. Healthy pregnancies and saving newborn lives: Through regular home visits, CHWs identify pregnancies early, educate moms on maternal health and nutrition, and register each mother on our mobile system to receive automated text messages every week, with advice timed to their delivery date. CHWs use the App to flag risk factors and danger signs, and immediately refer high-risk pregnancies to a proper facility. CHWs visit new moms as soon as possible after delivery to ensure that the baby is immediately and exclusively breastfed, kept warm, and remains free from infection. We also provide small financial incentives for each registration and for postnatal visits. 3. Family Planning: To help women plan and space their pregnancies, CHWs provide comprehensive family planning education and provide contraceptives. Women are counseled on the full range of family planning methods available to them, and CHWs can provide a range of options including hormonal pills, emergency contraceptives and condoms, and refer to facilities for longer-term methods such as implants or IUDs. In Uganda, CHWs are also permitted by government to provide women with the three month injectable Sayana Press (DMPA-SC); in Kenya, we have plans to conduct a research initiative using Sayana Press to provide government with data on incorporating this method into their national plan, too. 4. Nutrition: Stunting, a serious consequence of malnutrition, affects over 40 percent of children in Africa and India. The lack of simple micronutrients like vitamin A contributes to over half of under-five deaths. For these reasons, Living Goods places a major emphasis on improving child nutrition. Our CHWs promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life—the best nutrition a mother can offer her newborn child. We provide at-home education on a healthy diet and focus on improving micro-nutrient intake during pregnancy and in the vital period from six to 25 months. 5. Immunization: Living Goods-supported CHWs drive the uptake and equity of immunization coverage by counselling families on the importance of receiving childhood immunizations, referring them to receive vaccinations, tracking which children are vaccinated, and following up to ensure immunizations are received. In addition to supporting CHWs to extend immunization to the community level, Living Goods also serves as an advisor to governments on how to further scale community-based vaccination programs, roll out new vaccines, as well as shape immunization budgeting and strategy development.
