Welthungerhilfe’s Child Growth Monitor (CGM) is a digital application using artificial intelligence and augmented reality to turn mobile devices into tools for measuring the bodies of children. The mobile-based application can measure the height, weight and upper arm circumference of children using 3D scanning and thus offers an important prerequisite for the early detection and treatment of malnutrition. As Expert Fundraising, you will establish relationships with potential donors and acquire funding for the Child Growth Monitor.
