Three threes.
Everything else follows.
Wandikweza's entire model, how it enters a district, what it builds, how it measures success and when it leaves rests on three sets of three. Each one governs and depends on the others.

THREE FOUNDING CONVICTIONS
What Wandikweza believes without exception
These are the three beliefs that were held before Wandikweza's first CHW was deployed in Dowa in 2016, and that have governed every strategic decision since. A decision that violates any one of them is not a Wandikweza decision.
-
Systems outlast programmes
-
Government co-ownership is non-optional
-
Community trust is non-negotiable.
THREE BUILDING BLOCKS
What Wandikweza builds simultaneously, every time
Most health programs build infrastructure first, then seek government buy-in, then hope communities trust what was built. Wandikweza builds all three from Day 1 in every district because the failure of any one of them is the failure of the system as a whole.
-
Last-mile infrastructure
-
Community relationships
-
Government co-ownership
THREE EVIDENCE QUESTIONS
What Wandikweza is still answering district by district
These are questions each new district answers a little more precisely than the last and the evidence each district generates belongs to the sector, not just to Wandikweza alone.
-
What builds community trust in a new geography
-
Which milestones predict sustainability?
-
What must stay exact, what can change?
