Giving Back
Compassion Australia Thailand Commitment
As of January 2026 , Agili8 is drawing attention to a vital portfolio of Critical Needs projects. These initiatives provide customized solutions to address the most urgent challenges facing vulnerable children, their families, and their communities around the world.
The team at Agili8 is particularly thrilled to share a progress update on a major Water and Sanitation project currently underway in northern Thailand. Running from March 2025 through March 2026 , this initiative was launched to construct 64 new toilets across 14 child development centres located along the Thai-Myanmar border.
The impact of this infrastructure is already transforming lives:
-
Rapid Progress: Construction has reached approximately 80 per cent completion across all units.
-
Reduced Overcrowding: Once finished, these facilities will drastically improve the child-to-toilet ratio, bringing it down from 25:1 to just 14:1.
-
Improved Safety and Dignity: In areas where the toilets are complete, open defecation has dropped to zero. Furthermore, girls in the community have specifically expressed feeling safer and more confident having access to private, hygienic spaces.
-
Better Health Outcomes: Coupled with sanitation and hygiene training , this project is expected to reduce waterborne illnesses—such as diarrhoea and parasitic infections—by up to 95 per cent.
In total, this single project is supporting more than 1,180 children, along with hundreds of their family and community members.
However, the work does not stop there. Agili8 wants to highlight that there are many other Critical Needs projects still awaiting funding. These opportunities span several key areas of intervention:
-
Disaster Relief: Projects include providing food packages, household goods, and trauma counselling to 71,944 individuals affected by conflict in Ethiopia.
-
Health: Urgent medical interventions are needed, such as funding surgery to prevent kidney failure for a 21-year-old in the Philippines , and promoting mental health services for 2,000 participants across Peru.
-
Income Generation: Funding is required to help caregivers establish small businesses, such as goat rearing in Kenya, empowering them to build long-term economic stability.
-
Mums and Babies: Support is needed to deliver home-based care and group training for vulnerable mothers and their infants during the critical first year of life in locations like Indonesia and the Philippines
Every one of these projects has the potential to transform lives, restore hope, and pave a much brighter future for children and their families. Agili8 is proud to champion these efforts and encourages everyone to consider supporting these vital interventions to help communities achieve lasting health, safety, and self-sufficiency."
FISH National Medical Technology Trials
Throughout 2023 and 2024, Agili8 proudly partnered with FISH—the Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health—alongside other pioneering medical technology companies, to run a series of innovative medical trials in remote Aboriginal communities across the Kimberley Region.
Our collective goal was to bring advanced, specialized care directly to the people who need it most. To do that, three distinct pieces of technology were deployed:
-
AGILI8 XRAI Vision Smart Glasses: We brought our lightweight smart glasses into the field. By connecting communities, local health workers, and remote doctors through a secure mobile app, our technology allowed for the delivery of advanced medical care, virtually and in real-time.
-
Digital Eye Health Tech: Alongside the glasses, the University of Notre Dame and TeleMedC introduced an advanced mobile telehealth device for comprehensive digital eye screening.
-
Heart Health Monitoring: CloudHolter provided a tiny, external 24-hour heart monitor, enabling cardiologists to prepare detailed reports for local doctors and nurses without the patient ever having to leave their community.
But the technology was only half the story. What made this initiative truly powerful was how it was built. Agili8 and our partners co-designed this entire project from the ground up with the remote communities of Muludja and Bawoorrooga. We didn't just walk in with devices; FISH and the broader medical team collected community input to guide the design, the implementation, the timing, and the evaluation of these trials.
This collaborative process was particularly significant. It took place following a referendum where many Aboriginal people felt their voices were not recognized, leading to a real sense of despondency in the community. Our team wanted to ensure this project did the exact opposite—by listening. We were all incredibly fortunate to be guided by FISH’s Community Leads: Scott Wilson, a Gooniyandi and Gajerrong man, and Philomena Lands, a Gooniyandi woman from the Muludja Community.
We are thrilled to report that the trials were a resounding success. They validated our technology and proved that these tools can actively help close the gap and improve patient health outcomes.
Most importantly, the communities benefited directly. Participants were paid for their involvement, and they were left with the infrastructure needed to sustain this progress. The trials provided them with Starlink satellite internet access, laptops for data upload generously supplied by Clayton Utz, and hands-on training to confidently use the smart glasses and other health tech.
At Agili8, we build technology to connect people and save lives, and we are immensely proud of what was achieved together in the Kimberley."
