The Tika Vaani collaboration brings together research, technology, and implementation partners united by a common vision: to create and evaluate impactful innovations to accelerate health equity and improve the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid.
Inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals pledge to prioritize the needs and rights of vulnerable populations so that no one is left behind, we partner with rural communities in India to build healthier futures.
“Tika Vaani” means “vaccine voice” in Hindi. Our collaboration emerged through a creative synergy between researchers, field partners, and Gram Vaani , a social tech company that uses appropriate technology and communications to empower communities and achieve development outcomes. We focus on social and technological innovations to strengthen child immunization through empowering communities and health workers.
