Gaza Strip, GAZA CITY — Nour al-Khodari came up with the idea for her award-winning app Momy Helper after she gave birth to a son in 2014 while living in Chicago far from her family. The child-rearing advice she found online was mostly written in English.
“I was surprised to see that there was a great deal of research on child rearing published on social media and in magazines. Most of it was in-depth, well-documented and scientific — a sharp contrast to the Arabic content I found, which was mostly limited and from sources unverifiable" and often based on old wives' tales, Khodari, the founder and CEO of Momy Helper, told Al-Monitor.
