 Hello world, I'm Doreen from Tucson Innovations, a startup that strongly believes in the power of education to transform people's lives and take them out of poverty. If we take just a quick moment of reflection on ourselves, would we be seated in this platform right now if we didn't get a mere opportunity to learn how to read and write? An answer to this question describes our drive and purpose. One key challenge we are faced with in Tanzania right now is lack of locally produced digital educational resources for children and young learners. And one critical indicator is that children with hearing and visual disabilities, they don't have access to these resources. About 55% of deaf population in Tanzania is illiterate. As a solution, we develop digital educational resources in terms of videos as well as digital quizzes. The main aim is to add pedagogical merit to the whole process. We are using the simplest technologies to make sure that we reach out to as many children as possible that are from poor economic status. Of course we have a web platform that is hosting the content, but we also increase penetration through CDs and DVDs. Our market size is 24 million children between the age of 9 and 15, valued at $72 million. And our customers are parents of these young children, schools as well as educational institutions. So far we started six months ago. We have been focusing on piloting and testing the resources to as many children as possible so that we can get their feedback. And so far we have reached about 2,400 children and 92 children with special needs. Our aim is to reach out to 62,000 children and 1,000 children with special needs by the end of 2018. Our business model is quite simple. We have free sign language resources for children with disabilities, paid for content as well as data monetization. We have also industries working in the area, but what make us stand out is inclusion. Our team is qualified. We have education technologist, a teacher in special education, as well as a graphics designer to make learning fun. We are asking for 200,000 so that we can invest in better platforms, tools as well as team. We believe education is the greatest gift you can give to any child. It is a basic human right. Thank you. Thank you so much, Duri, what a great finishing point. What's the verdict, Duri? Well, I have a question. The market size and what was your target, geography and markets? Tanzania has about 55 million population and 44% is children below the age of 15. So that is what we are taking at. Do you have plans for going to other countries and scaling war? Tanzania is the main. Yes, we do have those plans. We plan to go to East Africa and to the rest of African countries. We want to be the center of expertise for digital learning for special needs in Africa. I have never been to Tanzania, so sorry for the question. How is education organized in the country at all and who is paying for it? Okay, so we are basically an independent institution, but the government, through the Ministry of Education, takes care of the education. So for us, it's extracurricular activities, actually. That's what we are focusing on. And as I said, our customers are parents, so we are expecting parents to be paying for these resources. I had a quick question. First of all, great that you started with your drive and purpose. Thank you. And then you mentioned that you wanted to expand your team. Yes. So what kind of drive and purpose do you look for when recruiting new team members? Oh, wow. I think we need more skills, especially for animators. Myself, I am an educational technologist and well trained. We have a teacher in special education who would love to have more teachers in special education, probably teaching blind children because our teacher right now, she's more focused on deaf children. Yeah, so we would like to expand in terms of expertise and get more technologists that they can help us to make animations and learning fun and engaging as much as possible. Maybe I've seen the wrong numbers, but is that true? You have 24 million deaf children in Tanzania? No, it's not deaf children. It's normal children. But your product is focusing on deaf children? As well as normal children. And how many are there? And what is actually the current status in terms of education for deaf children in Tanzania? Right now, okay. So we have about 250,000 deaf children in Tanzania and we have mainstream schools. That is, they have the normal educational stream, but we also have deaf units. And the whole country has about 14 deaf units and it can take about 500 children. That's it. Yeah, so that's how it is right now. So we have schools that have deaf units. Yeah. So since there's a very wide audience here, what kind of specific asks do you have to further fuel your growth? Well, we are just, so far we're just open for anything. I think you have just seen our support is very humble. We are from humble beginnings. So whatever kind of support that we can get in terms of expertise, coaching, mentoring, funding, we are open for anything and we will appreciate it so much just to make a change for these children. Thank you. Have you analyzed the competition and people who are doing exactly what you're trying to do and with whom you could partner? And that would actually shorten a little bit the, you know, the way for you to deploy your activities? Actually, yes. One interesting fact is that most of our competitors and one of them, she's doing a very good job. Her name is Faraja. She is developing content for children in secondary schools. So we still have a gap for primary school education. But in terms of secondary school, we can partner up with her organization as well to make sure inclusion is taking part in it in a larger context. And that's it. Thank you so much, Doreen, from Tanzania.
