Moving Health began as The Okoa Project, a student initiative at MIT D-Lab. In 2016, an all-female team identified a critical need for transportation among expecting mothers in Tanzania. They designed a motorcycle-attached ambulance trailer to address this issue. By 2019, Moving Health partnered with the Virtue Foundation to expand this initiative to Ghana, providing lifesaving transportation for pregnant mothers and those in need of urgent medical care.
In just three years, Moving Health has launched 15 ambulances across two districts in Ghana, serving approximately 75,000 people. The introduction of these ambulances has halved the referral time to hospitals, significantly improving maternal health outcomes. With 54% of rides dedicated to maternal health, trust in the healthcare system has increased, saving lives during complicated births.
Your contribution can save lives. A donation of just $20 covers the cost of one ride to the hospital, while $200 monthly can provide rides for an entire village for a year. Supporters like you ensure that women like Buke have access to essential medical care.
