Scaling Health Impact with WhatsApp Register & learn more at October’s Chat for Impact Bootcamp

Social impact organizations and social enterprises that provide healthcare services across the world can apply to be part of the Chat for Impact Health Bootcamp taking place online on October 5th.

The free, 90-minute event is aimed at supporting organizations working in health that want to learn how to use the WhatsApp Business Platform to amplify their reach and impact in the sector.

Eligible organizations include INGOs, non-profit organizations and social enterprises and during the Bootcamp they will learn best practices of chat service design, content management, launch strategies and more. Participants also have the chance to access an offer worth US$ 2,500, including a free Turn.io license for three months, free messaging on WhatsApp and unlimited training.  

Interesting insights from two organizations providing healthcare services that already have an established chat-based service on WhatsApp will also be shared at the Bootcamp while online Breakout Rooms provide a smaller, hands-on environment for participants to be taken through the Turn.io onboarding process for their chat service with members of the Turn.io team.

The Chat for Impact Health Bootcamp is facilitated by Turn.io, which has partnered with many different organizations working in healthcare to provide them with a tool to build their own chat service on WhatsApp.

"We’ve been inspired by organizations all over the world who are using WhatsApp to deepen the impact of their healthcare services. We hope organizations find WhatsApp to be a useful way to continue sharing access to vital information and resources with people who rely on them every day.”
- Ben Supple, Head of Public Sector & Nonprofit Partnerships at Meta
