Accomplishments that we're proud of
we were able to create an application that will enable the teachers to go through the college education by saving for their college fee and also access loans . The teacher will be able to track his savings record.
What we learned
many informal teacher are not able to access the college education regardless of their willingness to learn due to their small incomes and lack of or poor saving habits. Using the application the teachers will be able to develop a good saving habit which will help them raise fee for their college education.
What's next for Elimu Kasi
it intends to engage the informal teachers to test on its effectiveness and also try to educate the teachers on its advantages and how well to interact with the application. Through marketing strategies we intend to create a awareness off the application targeting the informal teachers across the nation.
