Hey Everyone!
I am a recently graduated Masters student from Stanford University (USA). Our group of Oxford University and Stanford University Masters and PhD students have come together to create a nonprofit startup that plans to use telemedicine to allow individuals in rural Kenya to manage their own healthcare. We are finalists for a $10,000 prize from Advanta Corp. Winning this competition will give us the money we need to do the initial fieldwork and set up the pilot project. Please help us get this money by voting for our idea on the competition website: http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/5535-Telemedicine-for-Rural-Kenya (The link also has more information about our project)
You need to register on the website to vote, but its really quick and you only need to enter your e-mail address (don’t worry they don’t spam you). We have already made it to the finals and now we really need every vote we can get to win the money. Voting ends on the 30th of this month so please click on the link now!
@Kriti, This sounds like a noble idea but I feel you can source this amount of money even from the govt if you present a proper biz plan, than having us register to vote. KES 800k is something that can be raised even through the CDF kitty. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
