The ‘Too Shy To Ask’ app was conceptualized for young adults to gain access to accurate information on gender, nutrition and reproductive health. It also allows them to ask questions to a group of experts in an easy, safe, comfortable and anonymous manner.
The ‘Too Shy To Ask’ App has been built by WE Foundation in association with Metropolis Healthcare Ltd. The experienced team at WE Foundation has meticulously put together enriching content for this app. The highly curated content is a result of months of research, drafts and finalization. The content is updated to suit latest medical knowledge. We formally acknowledge the phenomenal efforts of Dr. Duru Shah & Dr Prakash Gurnani in making this project a possibility and for their incredible support and guidance throughout the program.
