bring you the stories. counting the cost. to help make. everyone's benefit to. be designed to help make. this challenges. around the world.

this week life. is a day. like most of the world. is for food. lupul took a good. see could do a sequel. and

could only consequently. lisa bloom a big kid might. need to because. we guess and. good. does it say you were doing. and. two thousand. miles. and.

you. could do it in amazes and. well look down same would be to work with in. but it don't. maybe william can find the help he needs among the bright lights of kenya's capital city. nadir of the. it's full of life it's a miracle. i knew how to put you guys want. me to one of kenya's new breed of young software developers i want a new career keep on occasions develop a living and they will be called a small startup in my friends called bt and consultants we create tools even i will go on to use more news challenges to design a mobile phone app to help william and millions of other small scale kenyan farmers

who believe it's cool and it's not a craze in their o.b.'s socks it's just most people don't get the ball but. this is my favorite joints one reason it was the best jazz in town on these on number two they have the best be in town. there would be on his own work and gold is like that there could be so all the techies hollow tell. me. it's a good time to be moving in there i'll be on the supreme said. excite. mood .

kenya's take want to open your eyes like a movie you cut your teeth launch as many as five mobile phone apps a day. it's a good time to be living. on self on the. news always believe that mobile phone apps can help. people in the rural areas just as much as dogs in this city most people don't know what system information services but more bells provide that bus from waits to see what it's going to be me and confute in your pockets then i don't see a reason way to be accessible to the hazing by the way as. the new start up company has been going for just a couple of years. but their team is just had some good news on one of their projects to be liberating there because we've secured some funds for low pay look one of the arabs who do development is fun and gives you the chance to

create if you create something and you see people use it i mean it's. such a fortune are you from there you can't compare it to going to. the point of formation of whatever they are and no mobile phones are very cheap and therefore the. coverage of on anything else. lord will not change it's more on the on feature it's part of a logical system which is the information services what up to the mic information services what's a simple case who are in trouble this is. back in uganda it's the start of the long reigns for william it's time to plant. somebody and wouldn't be now a days or. a. and

it took a key to come up being. sealed to. make it but i support. so karen when you help william become the farmer he wants to be. a filmmaker tony who helped come up with a life apps idea to new a challenge that he contra fuse is tasked to create a mobile application that can help farmers like william agreed to take seven days out of his busy schedule to crack it so you can just talk to him to just figure out problems out and see if you can develop a solution ok so down to the month you can just.

look we slowly i'm. going to put a number twenty. five year old me. ok he was an awesome sonti ok. so we're good but good for the toilets ok south pole still. live. you. know you. always were such as customers means nobody in nairobi williams you gania is eight hours wakes. up. is that it given. that. you. feel you.

feel you. missed but. when they claim you. know. what they have been seeing. the. legal you. knew as to work out what's starting with making better use of his two acres. then you can design an app to help you. be looked up to the sun and i don't think when johnny. not for ice a bubble to double up the telephone of the suit. and then the limo much like

sex was different he says. to be defined in need be ditched. him to be defined be any be defined says that killing him and i dunno let me call this is. coming to me bunda. they die. he. demanded. ok so become a pilot. you seem. to not. be he. says and i told him that we can now use that same deal in a plane when i'm lazy. and then he said when i talk when i'm with that one door and all of them one of them. william suffers from the same problems a small scale farmers globally he has no modern water pumps he can't afford

fertilizes and without proper transport he can only still crops locally so williams joined a farmers group to try and pool knowledge and resources to kink human embryo to condemn the fans will. think it is i mean there. again i'm again. going to try to link here. with me with him getting. into bed and you assess that and then said and then go to what he said what they said. to him the other night when i said forget the so called says and you have to tango yet when it come late and live as soon. you can is that the fact that really a miserably in a group and it's barely two months old it's a starting point because it's already brought people together so even you developing a solution to these already a platform and you can use them one of the test groups or

a focus group rather and also start from hearing problems from other phones as well because now we've had to both really and maybe another families facing a slightly different problem you. do like the. city boy moving use about to taste some kenyan country cooking with william special needs crop is indigenous kenyan vegetables. or anything like that colette learned to think the food before we take it in the sense case. he made on internet in a question that limbo had king yes i mind he said but you you you you you you know you. you. i don't want to have you know you'll. go over you'll. pick. your hand in.

the mouth. you're you. next and when use research trip is a visit to you getting a town center he's going to meet william's group of local farmers. who wants to know if other farmers have the same problems as william. and how we can design a mobile phone app to help. find their meaning. because we. combine amazing myself as you. know no matter you think you know this is going to turn to could build a light lay's attorney imagine a gun that. is if i had your committee last week to come edition systems day to get you know. when i say my all to pinedale your kid needs to tell his that i did too but he's in big to kind of yeah

the meeting was good. after listening to india and this problem is all the challenges he faces and he's doing his harming they're not unique to him other guys in the community also facing more or less the same problems. when you want to research how much the crops william grows could fix so he has to one of the largest markets in the area. it's only forty kilometers from williams home but he's never even been here. every turn journey using public transport would cost him five dollars almost a week's income. so it's william's first chance to find out how much the indigenous

vegetables he grows could sell for in the big local markets. you know nothing more american. and. trying to treat. them. in the south suburbs sounds a little bit to get back to the question of the tunnel. in manderson's up our cities you need something to. sell some good to her said. but as they are all over the bananas on the floor before winds up on the top she done is. moved to more than room enough i'll come up to him. to walk you through one now when no you didn't when i said much about your city and you know when you get when you want to when you get when you want to when you really want to sign up to pick up someone analytical maccie and. pulling resources with

a group could mean lower costs and higher returns for their produce. more you realize this is how a mobile phone app could help looking up from the fall mas to the weeks now and then what the market for these a lot of ideas to explore today in the same area was all the problems become visible from a group level as a group you want to what source you support you see how much of this particular item before you see that name of intelligence reporting it as it will be able to sell these produce and also to what you need to be and how much to be. you know you . you know you will you. know you'll you'll be. doing your you will. it's a quick goodbye to william as more news of back to nairobi. his challenge is to design an app that can help william make a better life from farming. it is

a sad story unfortunately. and was see the food prices in nairobi ridiculously high and these guys can sell their produce out here i mean for instance you give me an example here into the market we fail untreated the ceilings of all farm produce he only sold a hundred feelings. so there is tall and about protein and becoming compost. it's time for minute to brief fifteen minutes off almost immediately and here is the future lenses that he is facing as an indigenous crop of the i also thought it sounds of meeting the group that he belongs to these farmers need from. push

information so we're looking at her technology. coming and bridge he's got under so support them to get to the next level so movie these this information about. planting seeds on the date and then they come they have how much the onion from the farm financial financial planning information we need to bridge that gap because the team decides to go with a simple text based app. like you can't lose the chance to kind of use you you can school with they don't all smart he says develop technology you develop solutions for technology people use one team for mission to move from the farm to the market and from the market to the farm and the only way you can do these is through their groups are said to be allowed this. seems by the way that they're almost ready to go back to william with their idea for an app

back. to say that you didn't like john cleese a living come by i need to give my mind mind you but. this. is. the prototype of their life app is ready to show william in person. l.o.l. the real. talk with them but. he wouldn't tell anyone. on the road back to william and this time when used joined by jeffrey one of the best trainers. the software city boys are about to be reminded why out here communication is

a problem. going to bless them up and get people. to. the. the first step is showing the group how the prototype app works so what's in the. two missing we're really. not. so good because i'm going to more. it's

a swahili word meaning fertility supposed to be a platform to exchange information well aids market information whether it's based on disease information on record keeping all that in one. so how exactly does road to both work. step one register the group form a name and produce. steps to send the details to row two database. step three send reports to row two both via text message such as which crops and the quantity they're selling. step for on market day then text all the farmers in the group to share the information.

then they can agree on prices and share transport costs. nicky to kids who is an enemy. most of interaction with the system will get through this a mess of us with a farm as a missing the system of the system getting the data back to the farm it can be tailored to be anything the farm on sea to be for instance if the group owns a farm implement like a palm. even from all it's to use the pump the request for the pump way. to come up with a group to simon says i watch it. all many make up and i keep. a lid to check what looked really cool. and a cool. to call. the app would allow williams friends to collect and distributes the information they need to work together see

where the building may be operate your comments how lucky you are not will be finding yeah yeah. well why not me they said they like their product. they see their body neat so i think it went pretty well you should have seen the smiles on faces. the smile on their way and is what gives you the belief. that. this has been. you can call it mind blowing all out of experience something you really need and it's all an experience you know you'll have. to come on nine minutes right. about one point. but you know the

limits and. what opened you can be a key complained. that keeping your money says i mean. for taking it could do me i seem to be young and he's going to. use currently seeking investment funding to develop or to buy as a fully functioning technology. he's convinced that mobile phone apps like road tube can help kenya's millions of small scale farmers to work more efficiently find new markets and have a better life i'm putting information on people's hearts they think they're far more out fair should have access to a point for me from a place because they're the ones providing me food and they're feeding the mission on growing the nation as i say or time envisioning but some of these things a project because killed even less from any. of the thousand four chords
