Tanzania - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Aims at simplifying student’s life at educational levels by solving problems like theft in schools. Also there’s a common issue for Uni students to not have access to hostels post first year, in which we made it our prime goal to tackle such adversities.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

STUDENT ASSISTANCE introduces a smart watch system for educational institutions, addressing common issues from primary to university levels. It allows for time management, alarms, and doubles as a payment method. This innovation reduces theft risks, monitors attendance, and provides canteen credit but also streamlines (pay on time) school fee payments through a pop up message reminder from parents phone once they have downloaded our designated app. Additionally, we offer student hostels with WiFi, breakfast, comfortable bedding, and affordable rates to tackle accommodation challenges post-first year period at the University level. In summary, our project targets the following main problems; 1. Manual school fee payments leading to inefficiencies. 2. Lack of effective student attendance monitoring. 3. Accommodation challenges for students at Universities, especially after completing their first year. 4: Parents forgetting to pay school fees on time. 5: Theft in schools.

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

The major issues we tackle is the manual process of school fee payments, which can be cumbersome and prone to errors. By introducing a smart system that acts as a modern payment method, we streamline the fee payment process for parents and guardians via our app. Also our smart watch system not only saves time and effort but also reduces the risks associated with carrying cash to schools, thereby minimizing theft incidents.Another problem we aim to solve is the monitoring of student attendance. With our smart watch system, schools can easily track student attendance through automated check-ins, providing real-time data for better decision-making and intervention. This helps improve overall student accountability & engagement in their education. Furthermore, we address the challenge of student accommodation, particularly for University students transitioning to their second year. Many students face difficulties finding suitable and affordable housing options with essential amenities.
