International development

sQuid provides innovative digital solutions supporting international development in education and transaction management.

Over many years, we have built and operated digital-enabled programmes in some of the toughest environments in Africa and Asia. We’ve built significant experience in working alongside Government and Non-Governmental organisations (NGOs) delivering solutions that make a difference to people’s lives.

We particularly focus in sub Saharan Africa, a market with the potential for significant growth, but which faces many challenges. In education, we offer a range of superb education tools that include attendance monitoring, teacher capacity building and learner development, especially helping to improve literacy as the gateway to better, lifelong learning.

Digital Attendance Monitoring

Digital attendance makes it easy for schools to monitor daily attendance of their students.
Using real-time data, attendance is tracked and reported back to teachers who can utilise this data to identify low-attendance students and support the student and their family to ensure their attendance increases.
This low-cost but highly effective tool, uses smartcards which are presented to a digital tablet to record school attendance. Loved by students, they have affectionally nick-named this daily highlight as "sQuidding".

Driving Literacy

Since delivering our pioneering iMlango programme in Kenya, sQuid has been always championed children's right to access basic education.
Almost 10 years on, we are still at the forefront of developing and delivering interactive and engaging learning platforms that students love to use!
sQuid has partnered with Storyworld to deliver R.E.A.L - an online literacy assessment tool currently being piloted in Zambia, with plans to extend to other African countries.
Continuing the success demonstrated in iMlango, R.E.A.L closely follows EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment), to assess key literacy predictors in real time: Listening Comprehension, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Reading Fluency, and Comprehension.

Payment Processing

We are proud of the work we do with our NGO partners to deliver scalable solutions to displaced communities.
Our work has taken us to Somalia with Save the Children and Chad with the International Rescue Committee, providing digital financial assistance to ensure recipients have money to pay for food, drink, clothes and transport fares to medical centres.
“Thanks to sQuid’s digital technology, the International Rescue Committee reached the most vulnerable internally displaced people in Chad’s Lake province by providing dignified humanitarian assistance in a very complex rural environment.”
