Malaica is transforming that reality through accessible, hybrid maternal care. The company’s digital healthcare platform combines personalized online support with in-person consultations, powered by AI-driven tools that make pregnancy care more affordable, continuous, and effective. Maternal healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa is fragmented and inefficient, with maternal mortality up to 50 times higher and infant mortality over 12 times higher than in parts of North America. Gaps in access to quality and continuous maternal healthcare and preventive services drive poor health outcomes. Malaica addresses this problem through an end-to-end hybrid care model, combining digital and in-person services to provide comprehensive pregnancy care. The solution includes: WHY MALAICA Midwives guiding mothers through the entire pregnancy journey. A digital platform that connects mothers, creates community and engagement. AI-driven automations that lower costs and increase scalability. MALAICA’S IMPACT Malaica has achieved notable results in Kenya, including 1,800+ women successfuly enrolled and matched with skilled personnel throughout pregnancy and delivery, 100% uptake in postnatal family planning services, and over 260,000 women supported with free pregnancy related educational content. Madiro’s investment will build on Malaica’s early traction, helping the organization strengthen its model and reach more women with essential maternal health support. 8 NEW INVESTMENT: EMERGENCY RESPONSE AFRICA Across Nigeria, countless lives are lost each year because help arrives too late.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION COMPANY DESCRIPTION 9 NEW INVESTMENT: ONEHEALTH OneHealth is a Nigeria-based digital health platform that is revolutionizing how essential medicines and care reach people across Africa. By integrating e-pharmacy, telemedicine, medication delivery, and adherence tools into a single platform, OneHealth serves as a one-stop online hub for patients, providers, pharmacies, and insurers. Its tech-driven model improves coordination, reduces time-to-treatment, and reaches patients at the last mile—bridging access gaps for underserved populations in urban and rural communities. NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE NIGERIA 1 DIGITAL PHARMACY AUGUST 2025 onehealthng.com EQUITY In Nigeria, access to essential medicines remains a major challenge, with only 23% of these medicines readily available to patients. Healthcare costs are also prohibitively high, with 73% of spending paid out-of-pocket. These issues are compounded by fragmented health data, making it difficult to manage chronic conditions and coordinate care. OneHealth addresses these gaps through a comprehensive digital health platform. Its pharmacy services ensure timely delivery of medications, while their adherence tools help patients stay on track with treatment. By integrating a marketplace that connects pharmacies, insurers, and providers, OneHealth enables seamless collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem. WHY ONEHEALTH FLAGSHIP COUNTRY ONEHEALTH’S IMPACT To date, OneHealth has grown into a trusted platform serving around 30,000 active enrollees and fulfilling roughly 50,000 prescriptions each month. With a network of 1,800 pharmacy partners, OneHealth is strengthening healthcare access across Nigeria. With Madiro’s support, OneHealth will expend its pharmacy network, enhance its digital platform, and extend access to underserved communities. COMPANY DESCRIPTION 10 NEW INVESTMENT: ACCESS AFYA Access Afya is transforming primary healthcare in Kenya by making it affordable, high-quality, and close to home for underserved communities. Operating in urban and peri-urban areas near informal settlements, the company delivers care through its branded Curafa™ “clinic-in-a-box” model, a digitally enabled, scalable franchise system. By partnering with local healthcare entrepreneurs, Access Afya brings essential care directly into communities while supporting clinics to become financially self-sustaining. NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE KENYA 1 PRIMARY CARE SEPT 2025 accessafya.com EQUITY In Kenya, quality healthcare is often out of reach for low-income communities, where private clinic fees can be up to seven times the average daily wage. Digital-only health solutions are further limited by the lack of physical infrastructure. Access Afya addresses these gaps through Curafa™, a franchise model that equips small clinics to deliver outpatient services, diagnostics, and pharmacy care. Each 600-square-foot clinic is run by a two-person team and supported by digital tools for quality and efficiency, enabling affordable services within a short travel distance. The model allows clinics to break even within eight months. WHY ACCESS AFYA FLAGSHIP COUNTRY ACCESS AFYA’S IMPACT To date, the network has delivered more than 635,000 lifetime visits and 46,000 virtual consultations. Patients report strong outcomes, with 94% experiencing improvements within four days of a visit, while drug availability consistently reaches 99%. With Madiro’s support, Access Afya will strengthen its Curafa health franchise platform by refining its revenue model, enhancing operational readiness for scale, and expanding training innovation. HEALTHY ENTREPRENEURS Across sub-Saharan Africa, millions still lack access to essential health products and services. Healthy Entrepreneurs (HE) integrates a tech-enabled supply chain with a micro-enterprise franchise model for Community Health Workers (CHW), expanding access to essential health products and services in rural and remote areas while creating sustainable and meaningful income streams for the CHWs. FLAGSHIP COUNTRY NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE UGANDA 7 COMMUNITY-BASED CARE NOV 2022 healthyentrepreneurs.nl EQUITY COMPANY DESCRIPTION In the context of shortages of human resources in health sectors across sub-Saharan Africa, there is consensus that CHWs can play a key role in accelerating progress on health goals through preventative health activities. CHWs are best positioned also to support disease surveillance, and the treatment for the growing burden of chronic diseases. By aligning the interests of the health system, CHWs and patients, HE aims to overcome barriers to widespread adoption of the community health model in African countries. WHY HEALTHY ENTREPRENEURS 2025 HIGHLIGHTS An independent evaluation by Oxford University’s Department of International Development confirmed that CHWs participating in HE’s programme saw their incomes rise by 70% compared to pre-programme earnings. The introduction of short-term credit provision has achieved a 0% default rate on repayment, underscoring the strength of HE’s model. Operational restructuring, including reduced delivery frequency paired with increased credit provision, has lowered costs and significantly improved revenue growth. 11 INDIVIDUALS GIVEN ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND PRODUCTS 4,500,000* COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS SUPPORTED 20,000 HEALTH FACILITIES WORKING WITH CHWs Up to 2,000* * Estimation made by HE using its catchment area and target population 12 SIGNALYTIC Signalytic’s S+ platform is a solar-powered, off-grid digital solution designed to improve last-mile healthcare by enabling reliable data connectivity in remote and rural areas.

NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE UGANDA 4 DIGITAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE MAY 2022 signalytic.ca SAFE COMPANY DESCRIPTION Many African countries are focused on achieving universal access to healthcare. In 2023, $5.87 billion was invested in digital health across the continent. Private investments in digital health solutions reached $190 million to date. Unfortunately, rural areas are often left behind, with 60% of health facilities lacking reliable electricity or connectivity required to support digitalization. WHY SIGNALYTIC 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Signalytic signed a $1.5M USD contract with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to deploy the S+ Platform across 150 healthcare facilities in Rwanda. The project begins in Q3 2025 and represents a breakthrough for both revenue growth and global recognition. Signalytic closed a $750,000 strategic investment from Johnson & Johnson Impact Ventures, following a rigorous due diligence process. The partnership provides not only capital but also long-term alignment with Signalytic’s mission to strengthen digital health infrastructure in underserved health systems. FLAGSHIP COUNTRY This hampers the ability of health systems to proactively meet the needs of health facilities and patients, and poses a significant challenge to achieving universal access. Signalytic offers a game- changing solution to meet this challenge. * Estimation made by Signalytic using its catchment area and target population INDIVIDUALS GIVEN ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND PRODUCTS 353,188* HEALTH WORKERS TRAINED & USING THE SYSTEM 644* HEALTH FACILITIES USING SIGNALYTIC 92 13 DOT GLASSES Blindness is the world’s most widespread disability. Dot Glasses is a social impact venture providing affordable, durable, and accessible eyewear, helping millions to see clearly and fully participate in daily life. In just 15 minutes and for under $5, individuals receive adjustable, one-size-fits-all frames with lenses correcting vision for 80% of those in need. NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE KENYA 9 MEDICAL DEVICES; CORRECTIVE EYEWEAR FEB 2024 dotglasses.org EQUITY COMPANY DESCRIPTION Without proper vision, people can’t learn, and can’t earn. Over 1 billion people worldwide suffer from uncorrected poor vision, largely due to cost barriers and a shortage of optometrists. The WHO recommends one optometrist per 40,000 people, yet Kenya has only one per 250,000, mostly in urban areas. Dot Glasses reduces the need for trained optometrists with its “Good Enough Vision” model. Using a simple proprietary diagnostic tool, local distributors and micro-entrepreneurs can quickly assess near- or far-sightedness, provide suitable lenses, and refer serious cases for further care. WHY DOT GLASSES Expanded to over 250 distribution points in Kenya, with 88 new points established in the past six months, strengthening both market presence and accessibility. Grew the team to 25 staff, reinforcing operational, sales, and support capacity to sustain scale. Closed the first bulk agricultural sale in Kenya with an order of 1,170 glasses, marking a significant diversification of revenue streams. Secured the largest B2B distribution to date with Cure Blindness, which purchased 100 kits in Ethiopia.

By delivering compassionate, cost-effective care, Benacare helps reduce healthcare costs by up to 90% compared to hospital-based treatment, ensuring more patients receive the support they need where they need it most. NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE KENYA 1 HOME-BASED CARE, RENAL DIALYSIS JUNE 2024 benacare.or.ke CONVERTIBLE DEBT COMPANY DESCRIPTION Chronic illnesses like cancers and cardiovascular diseases are rising in Kenya, causing significant financial and emotional burden, particularly for families living below the poverty line. Only about 25% of Kenyans have health insurance, and out-of-pocket payments account for a significant portion of healthcare funding, highlighting the urgent need for affordable alternatives. Recognizing this need, Benacare was founded in 2019 and has emerged as a key player in Kenya's home-based healthcare landscape. WHY BENACARE 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Launched Africa’s first mobile dialysis unit in Murang’a County, Kenya, providing life-saving kidney care to underserved rural populations. The mobile unit is equipped with three state-of-the-art dialysis machines, capable of delivering up to 144 dialysis sessions per week, significantly reducing the burden on local healthcare facilities. This initiative addresses the critical shortage of dialysis services in Murang’a County, where only four dialysis machines previously served over 1 million residents. FLAGSHIP COUNTRY To achieve widespread impact, Benacare has built a robust network of healthcare workers that is accessible through their proprietary mobile app. PATIENTS RECEIVING CARE AT HOME 5,117 HEALTH WORKERS IN THE NETWORK 2,986 DIALYSIS HUB 1 14 AVIRO NO OF COUNTRIES TYPE OF INNOVATION WEBSITE DATE OF INVESTMENT INVESTMENT VEHICLE SOUTH AFRICA 2 DIGITAL HEALTH TOOLS 2022 avirohealth.com EQUITY & SAFE COMPANY DESCRIPTION WHY AVIRO 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Aviro Health is a South African digital health company focused on expanding access to care through research and innovation.
