EduIcan Sharing Knowledge

 EduIcan Sharing Knowledge will be a social networking for students in the whole of Namibia. Students will be required to register for the service and they can choose the subjects they want to register for and proposed environmental projects they want to embark on. Every time they have a question in a certain subject they SMS their question to the code of that subject and the question is sent to all registered students in that subject who than can reply or comment on the question and is sent again to the group. Even those who didn't ask the question will be able to learn from what their fellow students asked. They registered students will be required to team together and come-up with environmental projects on issues affecting their communities most. Climate change has also affacted the country in the past 2 years where by floods has been hitting the country and affacting lot of people. Surveys will be done on a monthly basis to see how the students are benefiting from the project and to access environmental projects they have created within their communities.  They will be required than to implement those projects by sharing their solutions with the community and educating them on climate change issues.

The idea is to help students form diffirent backgrounds learn from their peers and engage students from public schools with students from private schools.

Project Assessment
Financial support: 
No
Sustainability Model: 
Income will be generated from SMS fees being charged per SMS. There will also be a tutor service groups which will charge higher fees, than the normal student groups because help will be provided by professionals in certain subjects and this will help to generate further income. Environmental projects those found to be feasible and sustainable will charge minimum fees from the communities.  
Expertise needed: 
Technical Expertise: The project will need an input  on Instant Messaging Service softwares and servers, as well technical skills to set-up diffirent subject codes to be used. IT skills will be required to ensure that when a question is posed its conveyed to the right study group.
Marketing/Media Expertise: There will be a  little media exposure needed to educate and market the project to students and parents.      
Project goals: 
The project is still at an early stage and need capital for launching and a computer.
Identified Obstacles: 
Not all students who will benefit from the project have access to cellphones. To find the right Instant Messaging software and reasonable cost
