My Virtual Planning: Online Sexual Education in the DRC with Ulrich Kouesso and Flore Yemdjie

AfricaX Podcast

Meet Ulrich Kouesso and Flore Yemdjie, the co-founders of My Virtual Planning, a social enterprise helping youth to prevent unwanted pregnancy and infections by doing online sexual education, giving individualised advice and sharing safe practices.

In the interview they share:

• How they came up with the idea and why they chose an online format for sexual education
• How they launched their platform through Facebook Messenger before building their own app
• How they are monetising the platform
• And how they work together with doctors and clinical psychologists

They also share why they provide legal support through their platform and what their advice for young people in the DRC is.

Flore is also sharing some of her insights in French, so this one is a must for all you bi-lingual folks out there.

There are a lot of valuable insights in this episode, addressing a really important topic. So we hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did.

And now, without further ado, enter Ulrich and Flore.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Now this adventure and story telling is something else!!! I’m now in Ghana. Completely grateful for Abo as well. Liberia was the epic best disaster." - a reader

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Such an amazing read. Probably the first book I’ve read in a year - since 2020 I’ve mostly been doing audio books ; but this is so worth it. It’s made me crave a good read again, thank you." - a reader

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A wild and captivating read that combines both a unique adventure as well as inspiring accounts about Africa's young leaders and social entrepreneurs. If you are into travel and inspiration, this book is for you. Thumbs up."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I started reading into this book without high expectations but then got really pulled into the story. So much so, that I found it hard to put the book down. It is a wild mix of pure adventure, fun storytelling that has you on the floor laughing, the inspirational vibe with all the interviews with African entrepreneurs and then the zen attitude this couple gives off, even when they are stuck in the mud between borders or lose their support vehicle. Great read. Can only recommend."
