Praekelt.org Information

Praekelt.org imagines a world in which personal, uninterrupted healthcare is available to everyone. We are an African Non Profit Organisation that works with mobile and digital tools and platforms to improve people’s lives, through targeted information and services. We provide solutions that enable health departments and development organisations to provide well-informed and life-changing conversations between health workers and the people they serve. Praekelt.org was founded as Praekelt Foundation in early 2007 by Gustav Praekelt and Robin Miller in response to the opportunities created by the rapid and unprecedented spread of mobile phones across Africa. Gustav, a digital entrepreneur and obsessive technologist, saw how many of the mobile technologies his consultancy developed could be used to give communities access to services & information which had previously been inaccessible.
