Maya: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Basketball is the only sport that since its creation has been completely inclusive and diverse. Recognizing the transformative power of it, we use the game of basketball to empower and promote gender equality, build self-confidence, and foster skills among women and girls. By providing access to sports programs, mentorship, and support networks, we aim to create an inclusive and empowering environment where women and girls can thrive.

Aral: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Being displaced means you lose access to important health services that you normally get in your hometown. Particularly, refugee women and children experience adverse health outcomes, such as access to routine vaccines, care during pregnancy, sexual health needs. We at HERA Digital Health address these issues by helping them navigate the health services in their host communities.
