With pervasive poverty, poor healthcare financing and high maternal mortality, Less than 3% of Nigeria’s 200 million population have health insurance as it is considered an expensive luxury. Again, Nigeria generates over 34 million tons of waste yearly and about 20 billion PET bottles causing poor sanitation, poor healthcare and affecting the environment
SOSO CARE is a social enterprise low cost insurtech which aims to use recyclable garbage as a financial resource enabling millions of uninsured slum dwellers mostly pregnant women and kids to access micro health insurance and gain points on food stamps.

By linking garbage to healthcare access and food stamps we are killing 2 birds with 1 stone a as the solution addresses the needs through the following:
• Access to healthcare to reduce infant and maternal mortality in these regions
• Improving sanitation & environment in slums and
• Creating Jobs for the distribution network and waste collectors
• Access to micro capital
• Access to food stamps

• Nigeria

• Youth
• Women
• People with disabilities
• The unemployed
• The poor
• Refugees and internally displaced people
• Remote and rural communities
• Adolescent
• Adult
• Elderly
• Pregnant women
• Pregnant woman and slum in suburbs

Soso care business model is scalable and replicable as we have tested it in over 4 states and cities even in Pakistan. We hope to raise money to scale fast so that we can move to bigger cities and states like Lagos with over 25 million people and about 30% living in slums and suburbs

is a profit driven as within 6 weeks we started 92 woman signed up for the service by donating recyclables

SOSO CARE promotes inclusion in many ways as it aims to solve many of our global problems. Nigeria accounts for over 20% of global maternal mortality with over 55000 women losing their lives to child birth. Again with growing population Nigeria waste generation keeps growing in tonnes which affects the climate, the oceans and Aquatic lives. By linking garbage to health SOSO CARE solves the problem of inclusive health, fight hunger, ensure the safety of the ocean and aquatic lives, creates job for waste collectors and most importantly protect our climate from waste as it aims to encourage recycling.
