Pikabora: Nutrition from What’s in the Kitchen

Field notes

Pikabora uses a WhatsApp conversation rather than a standalone app: a person lists available ingredients, and the service proposes a meal in relation to pregnancy stage or a child’s age. Its two journeys cover pregnancy and complementary feeding from 6 to 23 months, with examples including ugali, sukuma wiki, beans, eggs, sweet potato, avocado, and omena. The site says recommendations are checked against the Kenya Food Composition Tables and that clinical concerns should be referred to a clinic or community health worker.
