A MOBILE MALARIA COMMUNITY
Title acronym
mZinduka
Description *
A “Malaria Mobile Community” a new way of using mobile communication to fight malaria. The mZinduka! (the mobile extension of the Zinduka! campaign) is letting us reach people through personal, interactive mediums. By simply downloading the newly released mZinduka! song – which features some of Tanzania’s top musicians – listeners also get the opportunity to receive, respond to and engage with Tanzania’s top malaria spokespeople via informative texts, automated calls from pop stars, quizzes and more. The goal? To create the first-ever malaria mobile community.
