Health knowledge shouldn't be the thing families cut

Most health education assumes you can get to a clinic, pay for a course, or download and run a heavy app. MAATLA is built for the opposite: information that reaches you where you already are, on WhatsApp, and doesn't cost anything extra on top of your plan.

Weekly health messages. Every plan, including Basic, includes a weekly health message sent to you and your nominated family contact over WhatsApp. Short, practical, and part of the same chat you already use for reminders. No separate app, no extra data.

The Family Health Academy goes deeper: a web platform with practical courses on recognising a stroke, responding to choking, managing diabetic emergencies, and staying on top of medication at home. Courses include videos, quizzes, and a certificate of completion. It's bundled into every MAATLA plan rather than sold as a separate product.

Voice notes in your home language are coming soon. Academy lessons are being recorded as WhatsApp voice notes in all seven official languages the bot speaks: Sepedi, English, Setswana, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Tshivenda and Xitsonga. They are for anyone who would rather listen than read, and they are included on every plan at no extra cost as each language goes live.

Family Health Academy certificates are non-accredited and do not certify clinical or CPR competence.
