Text to Change has developed text message software to conduct mobile phone based health education programs in developing countries.
Text to Change conducts interactive sms quizzes via multiple choice questions. The services are free of charge and participants can win airtime and other incentives while participating.
Text to Change works with local NGO's, Telecom operators, governments and companies to achieve its goals:
1) Create more awareness on health issues via mobile telephones.
2) Gather data on knowledge levels via the text message based quizzes.
3) Create an uptake in health testing via referral to test centers via the sms quizzes.
Text to Change is based in The Netherlands and works in Uganda and Kenya and will be expanding to other countries in Africa.
