TeenInnovation=Teenovate

Teenovate — Teen + Innovation — is our adolescent and young people programme, putting trusted digital health tools in the hands of adolescents, young people, and their families. Through Teenovate we champion two Ministry of Health platforms — RIKA and EWENE — and bring them to schools, communities, and homes.

RIKA

Your Health, Your Questions, Your Growth

RIKA is the Ministry of Health’s digital health platform for adolescents and young people. It offers reliable educational content that makes health easy to understand — and a safe, private, and confidential space to ask anything about health, relationships, school, family, and fitness.

Through Teenovate, Tujulishane Kenya introduces RIKA to young people in schools and communities, alongside the Understanding Adolescents Guide Book.

EWENE

Every Woman · Every Newborn · Everywhere

“Okoa Mama. Okoa Mtoto.”

EWENE is a global initiative adopted by Kenya, led by the Ministry of Health and partners, to accelerate the reduction of maternal and newborn deaths. Through the Kenya EWENE Acceleration Plan 2026–2028, it tackles the three delays that cost lives: in seeking, reaching, and receiving care.

Through Teenovate, Tujulishane Kenya amplifies EWENE in communities — helping families learn the danger signs and know where to get help.

Get to a health facility fast, with referral and ambulance support.

03

Receiving care

Quality, well-equipped care for mothers and newborns on arrival.

Teenovate · Partnership

Built with the
Ministry of Health

Tujulishane Kenya is an official partner of the Ministry of Health. Teenovate is built inside that partnership: the Ministry leads RIKA and EWENE and sets the standard for what young people and families are told, and we bring the communications, community reach, and engagement with adolescents and young people to get it to them.

  • All Teenovate content is aligned with and approved by the Ministry of Health
  • We champion national platforms — RIKA and EWENE — rather than building parallel ones
  • Delivered through national, county, and community structures
  • Joint advocacy, including health bills championed with the Ministry
