About the Foundation

The Praekelt Foundation is an African organization that develops innovative mobile technology solutions to improve the health and well being of people living in poverty.

Across the globe mobile technologies are proving that communication can drive social change. By enabling greater efficiency and access to services, cell phones hold the potential to leapfrog traditional development approaches and create profound social and economic impact. The Praekelt Foundation leverages in-house expertise to create an incubator for new mobile-based ideas, and works with strong partners to ensure long term sustainability and measurable impact.

We work with government, nonprofits, private sector, research institutions and other organizations that share our commitment to improve health and well-being in Africa.
