Help Geoffrey get on a study trip to Slovakia

By Marek Chalany | Project Coordinator

Geoffrey

Geoffrey M. is a young ambitious startupist who wants to get inspiration and education in Slovakia. If he can collect enough money for his travel costs and accommodation in Slovakia, he will be able to meet new people from the Slovak Startup Community and collect valuable advice and experience from them on how to start a successful startup.


Geoffrey has two business ideas. The first concerns the connection of mobile phones with health information and the second is voting facilities for schools. Both of his ideas are worthy of an innovator, but Geoffrey in Kenya does not have the opportunity to gain important feedback from more experienced startups to guide him in the right direction. This is why the study path to Slovakia would be crucial for him. Geoffrey comes from Kien County Taita Taveta, from the village of Mbololo, and is the oldest of four siblings.


From 2011 to 2013, he was the chairman of the first IT club at Moi Kasigau High School in Rukanga village, the pilot school of our project. After school, Geoffrey worked at the launch of JB SoftCloud software. From 2015, he works again for our Sote ICT project and improves programming. Help him continue to advance! Contribute to his study trip to Slovakia.
