Okoa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to connecting women and mothers to the healthcare they need by developing practical, sustainable, and community-centered solutions to help them give birth safely. Our mission began when a rural community in Tanzania was searching for a way to save their mothers and young women; rates of maternal mortality were high, and clinics and hospitals were far away and difficult to get to. The engineering team, with the input of the community, designed a motorcycle ambulance to take their pregnant women to a hospital or clinic to give birth with a skilled birth attendant.

Mission Statement

To connect families to healthcare when they need it most.

Description

Since 2016, Moving Health (formally The Okoa Project) has been redefining emergency transportation by addressing geographically neglected areas to address the health crises that these communities face every day by providing opportunities for safer, faster emergency care. Unlike other companies, our primary goal is to use human centered design to create solution that the communities actually want, making our solution more sustainable, cost effective, and reliable than alternative options.

Our work fills a desperately needed gap by providing sustainable, low-cost emergency transportation in areas that do not have any. Not only do our ambulances save lives, but our intersectional approach to global health and technology allows us to capture our impact with precision and create opportunities through learning and innovation.
