About
Care that reaches her,
wherever she is
Mommity exists because a mother should not have to reach a clinic before she can reach good guidance.
Our Story
Why Mommity exists
Mommity began in Bamenda, in the North West Region of Cameroon, with a problem its founder met at work. Akwo Trinity is a nurse. The women she cared for were not short of courage or of love for the children they were carrying. What they were short of was information, at the moment it would have changed the outcome.
Since 2016 the crisis in Cameroon's anglophone regions has closed roads, emptied towns on ghost-town days, and put health facilities out of reach for weeks at a time. A pregnant woman in that setting can miss antenatal visits through no fault of her own. She may not know that a severe headache, bleeding, or a baby who has stopped moving is a reason to seek care today rather than next week. By the time she arrives, the condition that could have been caught early has become an emergency.
A companion, not a replacement
Nearly every one of those women has a phone. Mommity puts antenatal guidance on it: what to expect this week, when the next visit is due, which symptoms are warnings, and where the nearest help is. It speaks English, French and Cameroonian Pidgin, it can read its answers aloud, and its core guidance works with no connection at all.
It does not replace a midwife, a nurse or a doctor, and it never pretends to. It is there for the days in between — and for the days when the clinic cannot be reached.
“The root cause is not only limited infrastructure — it is a critical gap in accessible, timely health information reaching mothers at their most vulnerable.”
The Problem
A healthcare crisis
compounded by conflict
Since 2016, the socio-political crisis in Cameroon's anglophone regions has devastated maternal healthcare. In Bamenda, pregnant women face life-threatening barriers every day.
Restricted Mobility
Ghost towns and armed conflict prevent women from reaching emergency obstetric care facilities on time.
Delayed Presentations
Women arrive at emergency care centers with deteriorating conditions that could have been caught earlier.
Low Danger Sign Awareness
Critical warning symptoms go unrecognized, leading to preventable maternal and infant deaths.
Minimal Early Childhood Care
Insufficient postnatal knowledge contributes to high infant morbidity across the region.
Our mission
To put trustworthy, timely maternal health guidance in the hands of every mother — starting with those whom conflict and distance have cut off from care.
Our vision
A region where no woman dies of a pregnancy complication that information and early action could have prevented.
What We Hold To
Built with care, on purpose
Clinically grounded
Guidance follows established antenatal and postnatal care practice, and always points a mother towards a health worker rather than away from one.
Built where it is used
Designed in Bamenda by people who live with the conditions it is meant for — patchy networks, older phones, closed roads.
Understood by everyone
Plain words, three languages and a voice that reads aloud, so reading ability is never the barrier.
Kind by design
A mother who asks a question deserves a warm answer and a safe place to ask it. That shapes every screen.
