ConnText
I’m incredibly grateful to report that this project won the GemsXcelerator 2019, which is the Middle East’s largest youth accelerator, and featured in publications such as Azad News Middle East, Khaleej Times, Edarabia, and World Education Magazine.
Problem
Today we have access to more information in a small device that can fit inside our pockets than all of the previous generations combined, yet there are still 4 billion people globally (at the time of writing) without access to the internet. This expanding digital gap disfavours the less fortunate as they don’t have a convenient way to gain accurate information on-demand like the one we take for granted everyday.
Description
ConnText is a web search engine which enables digitally excluded people to access information on the internet by using SMS as a bridge.
