00:00:11.180 --> 00:00:14.657
The Asanka is also subject to new knowledge access, which

00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:18.075
is also commonly table where people have access to food.

00:00:18.075 --> 00:00:21.613
But we provided access to digital content. So we felt that

00:00:21.613 --> 00:00:25.030
Internet was not in rural Africa, so they needed to be a

00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:28.568
vehicle or a bull that people could access to Utah County.

00:00:28.568 --> 00:00:32.166
So we created our Sanka, our vision for our Sanka to become

00:00:32.166 --> 00:00:35.703
the platform that revolutionizes how people access content

00:00:35.703 --> 00:00:39.241
freely and cheaply without Internet access in Africa. Over

00:00:39.241 --> 00:00:41.530
400,000 to 12 benefited 51% of those.

00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:44.620
People are girls and it's intentional.

00:00:44.620 --> 00:00:48.124
Has the device which can store about a TB worth of data.

00:00:48.124 --> 00:00:51.751
You access it using any Wi-Fi enabled device like a tablet

00:00:51.751 --> 00:00:55.071
or a phone. All you need to do is to open it up and a

00:00:55.071 --> 00:00:58.759
radius of 25 meters, which is your house, your office, your

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.448
classroom, you just connect to it. And we've structured the

00:01:02.448 --> 00:01:06.075
content based on the national curriculum. So their videos,

00:01:06.075 --> 00:01:09.395
their audios, their files, their games that teach the

00:01:09.395 --> 00:01:12.592
national curriculum. Asanka can be accessed without

00:01:12.592 --> 00:01:15.070
Internet, so especially in rural areas.

00:01:15.070 --> 00:01:18.487
Where Internet is expensive, it provides a great tool for

00:01:18.487 --> 00:01:21.845
accessing digital content, for getting digitally trusted

00:01:21.845 --> 00:01:25.263
skills or preparing for national exams. Asanka has a tool

00:01:25.263 --> 00:01:28.504
that allows parents and teachers and administrators to

00:01:28.504 --> 00:01:32.039
access how well children are working or they're learning on

00:01:32.039 --> 00:01:35.574
various subjects and their Asanka apparent. I can check how

00:01:35.574 --> 00:01:38.992
well my kids are doing mathematics, on signs and so on to

00:01:38.992 --> 00:01:42.232
know whether they're ready and they require the needed

00:01:42.232 --> 00:01:45.190
skill that is required for that particular level.

00:01:45.190 --> 00:01:48.425
Before they progress to the next level on the Asanka

00:01:48.425 --> 00:01:52.026
platform, we're training teachers to become the Italy trip

00:01:52.026 --> 00:01:55.627
and be ready for the 21st century. Foreign publishers also

00:01:55.627 --> 00:01:59.046
to be able to create content and this we call it shared

00:01:59.046 --> 00:02:02.647
economy. The UNICEF Startup lab has really been helpful to

00:02:02.647 --> 00:02:06.004
us. Initially, we are struggling to get access to some

00:02:06.004 --> 00:02:09.606
government agencies within Education Ministry, but when we

00:02:09.606 --> 00:02:13.207
joined the Nazis Arab Lab, we have leverage on that to get

00:02:13.207 --> 00:02:15.200
access to some key partnership.

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:19.019
Which is opening greater doors for us as best I didn't do

00:02:19.019 --> 00:02:22.904
our literature, Dasaka platform helped me know that it was

00:02:22.904 --> 00:02:26.855
easy. Just have to read and understand something where they

00:02:26.855 --> 00:02:31.490
are self improve. My English, my gramma.
