In today's information-saturated world, knowledge alone is often not enough. People may know what they should do for their health, but they lack the motivation to actually do it. I visited Congo, in Kinshasa, in 2022. I noticed that older adults, especially women, were unaware that they had age-related health issues like menopause and high blood pressure while I spoke with them. So I decided to start an initiative to raise their awareness about these matters. I also observed that many young women are not particularly aware of contraception—one of the reasons why Africa is overpopulated today. Some may become aware of it but still lack motivation when it comes to medical compliance. Our story at Risevow inspired and motivated these women, even though the barrier was financial resources.
