Cashless school finance
A safer way to send pocket money to boarding school.
Parents fund a student’s EduCard directly. Students carry one card, check their balance at school, buy daily essentials, and parents see how the money is used.

The problem we set out to solve
Pocket money should reach the student—not pass through a chain of trust.
For many boarding-school families across East Africa, sending pocket money has meant giving cash to a student or transferring it through a matron, school leader, driver, or another informal channel.
Parents needed confidence. Students needed safe access. Schools needed accountability.
