😤 The Problem

Kenyan schools deserve better than Excel

Most schools still manage students, fees, and results using scattered spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and paper registers. It's 2025 — there's a better way.

  • Report cards take teachers 3 full days to write by hand
  • Parents call to check fees instead of checking instantly
  • M-Pesa payments manually matched to students in Excel
  • No way to know which students are failing before it's too late
  • Discipline and attendance tracked in paper registers
  • Library books "disappear" with no tracking system
✅ The SOMAPOA Solution

One platform that runs your entire school — built for Kenya

  • AI writes report card remarks in seconds — teacher just approves
  • Parents see grades, fees, attendance on their phone instantly
  • M-Pesa payments auto-recorded and SMS receipt sent immediately
  • At-risk students flagged early with AI-powered intervention plans
  • Attendance marked on mobile — parent SMS sent on absence
  • Every book tracked, every bus stop logged, every staff paid correctly

📱

SMS Fallback for All Phones

Parents without smartphones still get SMS alerts via Africa's Talking. Works on any Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom number — no internet needed.

Generate a report card remark for Brian Otieno — Form 4, Mean Grade B+
Brian has shown consistent dedication this term, achieving a commendable B+ mean grade with particular strength in Mathematics and Physics. His analytical skills are evident in the sciences. However, he should channel the same effort into English and History to achieve a balanced performance. With focused revision and consistent reading, an A grade is well within reach for KCSE.
Now in Kiswahili, more encouraging tone
Brian amefanya kazi nzuri sana muhula huu na kupata daraja la B+, hali inayoonyesha bidii na akili nzuri. Nguvu zake kubwa ziko katika Hisabati na Fizikia. Anaombwa aendelee na juhudi hii na pia asome zaidi Kiingereza na Historia. Tunaamini anaweza kupata daraja la A katika KCSE akiendelea hivi!
