A new Nivi team member and big, digital strides
This month, we celebrate Amy Styles expanding her role in our team as well as more digital insights, which we hope, in turn, will help more women in more places. — Sidd
This month, we’re happy to announce that Amy Styles, Nivi's Director of Partnerships, will be taking on the Kenya Country Director role. In the past 3 months Amy has been framing our partnerships with Jhpiego, Well Told Story, ZanaAfrica, all while continuing to build new alliances. She’ll also be working on guiding user engagement, in-country team management, and operations. Most recently, Amy was working as an international consultant with Eureka Idea Co., a consulting consortium that works to find solutions to social inequality. Interesting projects included market shaping for menstrual health management and HIV self testing. Before that, she was with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, where she spearheaded a team that assisted the Ministry of Health on pediatric HIV issues in Swaziland/Kingdom of eSwatini.
Now that Nivi has a strong foothold in Kenya, the team is identifying ways to use this information to expand more efficiently in Nairobi and beyond. In fact, we’re even looking to broaden our work into other countries, most notably India, in the coming months. We’ll be talking more about this exciting development as it progresses.
We started May with 7,639 Facebook followers. Thanks to a robust and targeted ad campaign, we ended the month with a whopping 24,525 followers, many of whom went on to engage with us, asking questions about sexual health and contraception. We think these huge gains illustrate just how hungry people are for a service like ours while showing how digital can open up ways to talk about a once taboo-topic.
In closing, we always love to hear from you. As a reminder, there are multiple ways to keep in touch:
Our Facebook page shares Nivi user stories
Our Twitter account posts relevant news and conferences
And, of course, we're always here to answer your questions! (help@nivi.io)
