What if all your healthcare needs were a text message away? In this first episode of our special series with the Skoll Foundation, we speak with Debbie Rogers, CEO at Reach Digital Health, previously named Praekelt.
Through text messaging, Reach Digital Health is not only informing people about their health. Citizens can also respond and ask questions, helping governments gain a real time understanding of the public health landscape. Through their story, Debbie reveals how mobile technology can be one’s greatest asset when trying to reach the world’s most vulnerable populations.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
