Community Human Practices
Informed us of local culture and practices and helped us envision how our idea could fit into existing infrastructure in West Africa.
Taught us more about existing systems of micronutient supplementation, what still needs to be improved, and how Oviita fits within this.
Gave us a more nuanced and cautious understanding of the complicated factors relating to nutritional aid, and taught us the importance of centering our design on the user's real needs
Gave us direction on how to establish a charity non-profit and stressed the importance of creating partnerships with existing organizations and community groups.
Helped us understand the testing and diagnostics of vitamin A deficiency and the applications of a field test.
Taught us about existing solutions and focused our attention to the importance of preventative measures, long-term solutions, and commitment to the overall vitamin A deficiency initiative
