2. Can you describe your idea or project in two sentences?
My reproductive health (myRH) is a digital infrastructure built to make reproductive healthcare better for women, men and young people.
3. How did you get your idea or concept?
The idea originated when I was volunteering in a community health center in the North West Region of Cameroon. I noticed that women and girls lacked access to the sexual and reproductive health information and services they rightly needed.

Together with some my friends we created myRH to make reproductive health information and services more accessible to women and young people.
