I designed an app that allows Nigerians get ambulances for emergency situations. Just like Uber, but for ambulances. One can also view hospitals nearby, send SOS messages, talk to doctors... pic.twitter.com/qecPwyyYn6

Imaginact also worked on an unlawfully prisoned children in Nigeria campaign using its Broach program which it uses to create consciousness about societal and political issues among African youths by sharing information and enabling conversations about the social issues.
The initiative partnered with Forever Gratis, an African student-led advocacy organization to raise awareness about Nigeria’s unlawfully locked child prisoners and terrible juvenile centres issue. You can sign this petition to help them.
