RAFIKI

 

 

 

Rafiki (Swahili for companion) is a digital care assistant in the form of a chatbot. It uses artificial intelligence to provide caregivers and parents supported by SOS Children’s Villages with tailored knowledge on topics like childcare, child protection, mental health, and many others. Rafiki is easily accessible at all times with a mobile device or a desktop computer.


Rafiki has already reached around 500 child and youth care practitioners and parents in seven countries in Eastern and Southern Africa. They all say they would recommend Rafiki to their colleagues.


If you would like to know more or contribute to the development of Rafiki with your content, AI expertise or financial support, please contact maria.berenguer@sos-kd.org.
