“We learnt a lot from White Rice, especially on paying attention to details and how to embrace ambiguity with confidence and finding a way forward. I can proudly say that the level of clarity we have today on our project is only because of the HCD process and credit goes to White Rice for leading this process.”

Seher Afsheen
Programme Manager at Oxfam

“The quality of work White Rice and its team has done for the stunting reduction programme, is something that we at UNICEF are proud of. What you started within looking deep, I think its something that we should all see as a vital undertaking in whatever work we do, because without that we tend to miss out on details, and can lose focus on quality.”

Kitka Goyol
Chief WASH at UNICEF

“I had an incredible experience working with White Rice. They brought our project to life. The team is made up of creative and dedicated individuals who constantly bring new ideas and solutions to the table which makes any campaign immensely impactful. I would undoubtedly say that we owe a lot of the success of their campaign to White Rice.”

Behaviour Change Communications

White Rice works on unique social challenges, systemic issues and problems that require disruptive thinking.

We create community-centered and behaviourally designed communications, while enabling last mile workers, communities and on-ground outreach channels for change.

Digital
Campaigns

Digital Media has become a game-changer for impact work and our cross-platform and digital-first approach has helped communities champion causes, build movements, advocate for rights, mobilise communities to take action, and become the drivers of change.

Content Strategy
& Design

Being a pioneer in the field of impact storytelling, White Rice leverages the power of creativity and design to create immersive experiences, gamified learning, visual storytelling, and transmedia content to inspire communities into action.

Approach

Our approach is based on a mix of behavioural psychology, human-centered design, neuromarketing, and systems thinking. We try to work on the principles of how humans actually behave, not how they should behave.

Team

Imagination

We create possibilities by being system-savvy, inclusive, and understanding that context where behaviours exists and can be changed is the key to solving global challenges.

Impact

We are relentless in scaling up ideas into pilots, transforming them into nationwide programs through iterative design.
