WHO ARE WE?
Famka is a health company that focuses on making rapid tests available for STIs, in the comfort of your home, with results in 15 minutes.
TuuPost is a marketing company that works with getting brands into hard-to-reach areas, helping brands get their products to their customers.
OUR MISSION and VISION
Our goal is to get people to have safer sex, but not everyone is having safe sex, which is why South Africa has the highest STI rate in the world.
We want people to be able to test themselves, and if they need treatment, they can get it.
We hope that with the accessibility of rapid test kits, we can get people to make better choices and feel safe and comfortable doing so.
We have a vision of a South Africa that prioritises frequent STI testing and a lowered STI infection rate.
THE PILOT PROJECT
The Pilot Project is all about how we can reach individuals in the Townships of Joburg.
The need is there, and we’re on a mission to give people access to affordable health care.
We also want to educate people and get them to understand sexual health and the positive benefits of safe sex practices.
We want to be part of the movement that reduces the number of STI infections in South Africa.
STIGMA
Stigma is the root cause of wrong information about STIs.
Poor sex education also contributes to people having incorrect information about STIs.
Having unprotected sex, a weak immune system, having multiple partners and not testing for STIs can increase your risk of catching or passing them.
