What specific problem are you solving?

The problem we're addressing revolves around the lack of access to education in rural areas and those affected by conflicts and population displacement outside of Sudan. In these regions, students face challenges in accessing education due to ongoing conflicts and their repercussions, which impact educational and security infrastructures. Additionally, girls' education faces additional challenges in these environments due to cultural and social factors. This problem has both local and global implications, as the lack of education hinders individuals' opportunities in life and their contribution to sustainable development, affecting the future generation.Furthermore, many Sudanese find that the available English-language education meets only a minimal portion, approximately 2%, of the overall educational needs in the country. This exacerbates challenges in accessing quality and effective education in their communities, reducing their opportunities for decent employment and comprehensive development.

What is your solution?

online educational platform that provides high-quality education to students in rural and conflict-affected areas in Sudan. Our platform relies on internet communication technologies and distance learning to provide comprehensive and accessible educational opportunities for all.The idea behind our solution is simple: we offer a variety of lessons and educational materials through an online platform that can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. Students can easily browse through educational materials and follow lessons at their own pace.Our techniques rely on multimedia to deliver a diverse and engaging educational experience. We use educational videos, interactive lectures, and exercises to enhance understanding of the materials and promote interaction between students and teachers.Additionally, we provide continuous technical support to students to ensure they make the most of the platform. They can ask questions and raise concerns at any time, and our technical support team will respond promptly.In summary, 

our platform aims to provide a comprehensive and innovative solution to address the lack of education in rural and conflict-affected areas in Sudan, by offering high-quality education that is easily accessible and meets the needs of students.

Additionally, we establish local school sites in rural and conflict-affected areas to provide educational centers close to students. We also utilize Starlink devices to expand communication coverage and provide broader access to online education for nearly 8 million students in Sudan. These technologies contribute to achieving the goal of providing comprehensive and accessible educational opportunities for everyone, regardless of their geographic location or living conditions.


Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Our solution targets students in rural and conflict-affected areas in Sudan, where they face difficulties in accessing high-quality education. The targeted population includes students from elementary, middle, and high schools, with a special focus on girls who may be more vulnerable due to cultural and social factors. These students suffer from a lack of educational resources, qualified teachers, poor infrastructure, and challenges in accessing modern educational technology.Our solution aims to improve the lives of these students by providing high-quality and easily accessible educational opportunities. Students can access educational materials and lessons easily from anywhere and at any time through our online educational platform and local school sites. Additionally, the use of Starlink devices contributes to expanding communication coverage, ensuring that more students have access to online education. This means that our solution will have a positive impact on the lives of students, enabling them to access good education and better opportunities for the future, regardless of the obstacles they face.

Furthermore, we procure devices and equipment from trusted companies such as American and German companies, like LUCAS-NUELLE, to ensure the quality of educational materials and technology used on our platform. This contributes to providing a better educational experience for students and ensures the reliability and sustainability of the solution.

Why are you applying to Solve?

We are applying to Solve because we believe in the power of collaboration and the potential impact of our solutions. While we have made significant progress in developing and implementing our online educational platform, we realize that there are several obstacles hindering our ability to expand and reach more students in Sudan.Specifically, we hope Solve can help us overcome the following barriers:Financial Barriers: One of the main challenges we face is securing sufficient funding to expand our operations and reach more communities in Sudan. Solve's network of potential partners and funders can provide the necessary financial support to effectively scale our solution. Additionally, access to resources for capacity building and sustainability planning is invaluable for our long-term success.Technical Support: As a technology-driven solution, we need continuous technical support to maintain and enhance our online educational platform. Solve's network can connect us with technology and education experts who can provide guidance to improve functionality, user experience, and expand the applicability of our platform. This support will ensure that our solution remains up-to-date and suitable for the needs of the target audience.Legal and Regulatory Assistance: Navigating legal and regulatory frameworks, especially in a complex context like Sudan, can be challenging. Solve's network can help us access legal expertise and guidance to ensure compliance with local laws and international standards. This support is essential for operating our solution smoothly and ethically within the country's legal framework.Cultural and Market Understanding: Understanding the cultural nuances and market dynamics in the communities we serve is essential for the success of our solution. Solve's diverse network of partners and experts can provide valuable insights and cross-cultural training to help us effectively adapt our approach. By understanding the unique needs and preferences of the target audience, we can refine our solution to better meet their requirements.Impact of Conflict and Displacement: The ongoing wars in Sudan contribute significantly to the challenges faced by children, including killing, displacement, and deprivation of education. Solve's platform can help us raise awareness about these issues and mobilize resources to address the specific needs of affected children. By highlighting the impact of conflict on education access, we can advocate for policies and interventions that prioritize the educational needs of vulnerable children.Overall, we see Solve as more than just an opportunity to secure funding. We consider it a platform for collaboration, learning, and growth. By leveraging Solve's resources, expertise, and network, we aim to overcome the barriers hindering the expansion of our solution and thus achieve a lasting impact on education access in Sudan.
