Waliku's first use-case and proof-of-concept implementation was in Sumba Barat, Indonesia, where net attendance for primary school students in 2014 was 80 percent. Endemic to falciparum-malaria, with poor water, sanitation, and geographically dispersed health service points, Sumba Barat has had school-age children die of preventable illness such as diarrhea and malaria.
After a feasibility study in 2017 to elicit community perspectives on barriers to student attendance and well-being, and their desire and capability to engage, Waliku was introduced in Sumba Barat across five schools in the 2018-19 academic year.
