06.08 Justification

We create educational content mainly in Swahili language. Although there have been initiatives similar to ours, our learning platform is different in that it presents students and/or their parents and/or their teachers with an opportunity to suggest the next topics to be covered in our upcoming videos. By doing this, we can identify which areas in education (which topics) students need the most help understanding.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

Our main competitor is the Ubongo Kids TV show. Just like us, Ubongo Kids create educational videos for children using songs and cartoons. However, in content production (specifically in topic selection), Ubongo Kids do not involve the audience to the extent that we do. We engage various education stakeholders, including parents and teachers, to stay up-to-date with educational needs in real-time and to understand which areas students find most challenging to learn. Afterward, we prepare educational songs that reflect the suggestions made by these stakeholders.

11.05 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

Yes, in my startup, we have a female staff member with whom we are working. By collaborating with her, we are growing together and enhancing our entrepreneurial skills together. Additionally, we anticipate hiring more female personnel in the future as the company continues to grow.
