A CBCC platform for social & behaviour change
DigiFahamu is a platform — mobile apps, a web app and the back-end infrastructure behind them — that disseminates audio, video and graphics in an intuitive way. Content is downloaded for offline access so it works in remote areas with no network, displays in any vernacular you configure so it stays intuitive where literacy is low, and records usage statistics on every message played as evidence of reach.

The platform
DigiFahamu is a platform, not a single app. Mobile apps, a web app and the back-end infrastructure behind them work together to disseminate audio, video and graphic content to communities that are hard to reach — and to prove that the content actually reached them.
Programme teams publish once from the web back end. Field audiences receive it on apps designed for low-end phones, in the language they speak, available whether or not there is network coverage. Every play is counted and reported back.
Audio, video, graphics, images and PDFs, organised into topics and subtopics.
Built for youth, farmers and marginalised communities on entry-level devices.
Feedback, questions, complaints and compliments come straight from the app.
Exportable usage records that stand up in donor and programme reporting.
DigiFahamu is delivered as a set of connected components, not a standalone download.
Mobile apps
Android & iOS, built for low-end devices and offline use.

Core capabilities
01
Publish audio messages, videos, graphics, images and documents from one dashboard, structured into topics and subtopics. On the phone they appear as large, icon-led tiles that a first-time smartphone user can navigate without instruction — tap a picture, hear the message.
02
Users download content once, wherever a signal exists, and it stays on the device. From then on the app plays with the network switched off entirely — in villages, farms, clinics and camps with no coverage. Usage recorded offline is stored locally and syncs automatically when the device next comes online, so no play is ever lost.
03
There is no fixed language list. You add whatever languages and vernaculars your programme needs — including minority and unwritten ones — and publish the same message in each. Every language carries a recording of its own name, so users who cannot read the list still choose theirs by listening. Because the experience is audio-first and icon-led rather than text-heavy, it stays intuitive for people with low literacy and for audiences who are not digitally privileged.
04
Every single play is logged: which message, in which language, on which device, where and when. That turns "we distributed content" into a defensible record of reach and engagement — the evidence donors, ministries and evaluators ask for, exportable at any time.
Evidence, not estimates
Most campaigns report what was distributed. DigiFahamu reports what was actually consumed — message by message — so your monitoring and evaluation rests on records, not assumptions.

How it works
Load audio, video, graphics and documents into topics and subtopics on the web dashboard.
Attach native-language versions of each message so audiences choose the one they speak.
Field users download once, then play anywhere — including areas with no network at all.
Every play syncs back into dashboards and exports you can put in front of a donor.
Who it's for
Deliver behaviour-change campaigns and report verifiable reach against grant commitments.
Push public information to counties and villages in the languages citizens use.
Get advisory content to farmers on-farm, offline, and see which advice was consumed.
Equip community health workers with counselling material they can play in the field.
Frequently asked
DigiFahamu is a platform rather than a single application. It comprises mobile apps for Android and iOS, a web app, a content management and publishing back end, analytics and evidence dashboards, feedback and chatbot channels, learning modules, and the synchronisation infrastructure that makes offline use possible. Together these disseminate audio, video and graphic content in an intuitive way, make it available offline, present it in any vernacular, and record usage statistics on every message played as evidence of reach.
Yes. Content is downloaded to the device once and can then be played in remote areas with no network access at all. Usage recorded while offline is stored on the device and syncs automatically the next time connectivity is available, so nothing is lost.
Every vernacular. There is no fixed or pre-set list — languages are fully customisable, so you add whatever your communities speak, including minority and unwritten vernaculars, and publish the same message in each. Each language can carry a recording of its own name, so users who cannot read still pick theirs by listening. The interface is icon-led and audio-first, so it remains intuitive where literacy is limited and for audiences who are not digitally privileged.
DigiFahamu collects usage statistics on every message played — which message, in which language, on which device, where and when. Those records are exportable as evidence of reach and engagement for donor, ministry and programme reporting.
Android and iOS phones — including low-end handsets — plus a web app that runs on laptops and desktops for programme teams.
Yes. Feedback, questions, complaints, compliments and support requests can be submitted from inside the app and are captured alongside the usage record.
