01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

Education is a fundamental resource for individuals and societies, seen as both a right and duty. Over the past two centuries, global literacy and enrolment rates have increased significantly. However, some regions, like sub-Saharan Africa, still have literacy rates below 50% among youth. Public funding largely supports education, but higher spending alone doesn’t improve outcomes. Research shows primary education yields the highest returns in less developed countries. ODMM supports Kenya’s educational efforts by focusing on marginalized children in Kibera slums.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The main problem we are addressing is the lack of access to quality education for underprivileged and marginalized children, particularly in regions like sub-Saharan Africa and slums such as Kibera in Kenya. Despite global improvements in education, significant disparities remain, with many children still not receiving the education they need to improve their individual prospects and contribute to societal development. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, quality education to these children to help bridge this gap and support broader economic and social growth.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).
