Women's empowerment is crucial for sustainable development (read more about that here). We need their contribution as decision makers, caretakers, stakeholders, experts and educators across all sectors. This is the reason why we are turning Audiopedia into a global movement for women’s empowerment and gender equality.

The numbers of new COVID-19 cases and deaths are sharply on the rise in many African countries. According to Wold Health Organization Africa, infections rose by 50% on the continent between 29 December 2020 and 25 January 2021 when compared with the previous four weeks.

Audiopedia would be nothing without its volunteers. We would like to introduce you to some of them with our "Volunteer Stories". This one is about Victoria from the United States.

Audiopedia’s goal is to provide vital health knowledge to women in rural areas around the world, but we can’t do it alone. With your help, we can increase awareness around women’s empowerment, health literacy, and gender equality. You can help generate a global change!

When we developed Audiopedia, we were intrigued by an idea: we wanted to give people a unique opportunity to actively participate in solving a global problem. We would call this "crowdimpact". And in fact, our great progress so far was only possible through the work of thousands of volunteers, partners and NGOs. 

The coronavirus affects all of our lives. But in the poorest countries it will be devastating. Especially for women and girls, who will be on the frontlines of the response.

This is the first time ever, that we can achieve to deliver essential knowledge to every rural woman on this planet. No matter what language she speaks or if she can read or write. This is made possible by technology - and by your valuable contribution as a volunteer translator. With your help we can translate basic health knowledge and life skills into languages they have never been translated before. And we can help rural women to live a healthier and happier life.
