Our Story.
Established in 2016 Stowelink is a registered youth led organization whose primary ethos and vision is to inspire healthier communities by providing information on non-communicable diseases to ALL, at ALL times, and in RELEVANT formats through integration of innovative community projects, technology and using disruptive communication approaches.
Since 2016 Stowelink has been able to conduct 7 projects including project ALPHA on cancer awareness and education, MyHeart Ke on cardiovascular health awareness and education and The Drug Free Youth Project. Through these projects Stowelink aims to educate communities on the major NCDs and their risk factors. To date Stowelink has been able to reach over 2.4 million people both online and offline, receive local and global recognition for their innovation and in 2020 expand its impact and partners through the NCDs 365 project to 8 African countries.
At the core of Stowelink’s approach to this noble work is innovation. At Stowelink we have been able to develop a mhealth solution for NCDs education through the mCure app (available on Playstore), gamify learning on NCDs especially to kids through the development of the NCDs board game and through the development of the NCDs training module, we have developed a tool that simplifies NCDs education while also harnessing the power of visual learning. At Stowelink our driving mantra is and always will be, “transforming and empowering lives.”
