Venille AI is Nigeria?s first inclusive, AI-powered menstrual health platform built to tackle gender inequality through accessible, culturally relevant, and personalized digital care. Designed by a women-led team and co-created with adolescents, the platform provides multilingual guidance on menstrual hygiene, pain management, emotional wellbeing, and cycle literacy via WhatsApp, mobile app, and USSD ensuring access for low-literate, disabled, and offline users. Our solution uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to deliver localized, context-aware support in Hausa, Pidgin, and English, with plans to expand into Yoruba, French, and voice-based interfaces. Key features include privacy-first architecture, behavioral tracking, and audio options for visually impaired users. Since inception, Venille AI has impacted over 70,000 girls through hybrid digital and physical interventions, reaching IDPs, schools, and shelters across five Nigerian states. With scalable infrastructure, multilingual content, and proven adoption, we aim to expand to 150,000 users across Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya in 12 months. Socially, Venille AI targets a 20% reduction in school absenteeism and a 35% increase in body literacy among girls aged 10?18. Economically, it fuels local pad production, youth employment, and digital inclusion. With AI4D support, Venille AI is poised to scale responsibly and transform menstrual health access across Africa.
