“Literacy is the key to addressing Africa’s woes” — Peter Easton<\/em><\/p>\n

Upon reveling in Easton’s work, amongst other sustainable development chief operators, young entrepreneur Sunday Bawa decided to create a new mobile application to solve reading and writing problems in Africa — uniquely named, BookTime Africa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BookTime Africa is a platform for gaming and education, facilitating young folks to get intellectually and monetarily motivated towards self-improvement. As gaming is one of the biggest leisure activities in Africa, Sunday thought this as the best way of curbing this societal problem.<\/p>\n

The application is focused on helping African youth make sure that they have the best chance of succeeding in life. Years and years of lack-of-education and social problems has caused the continent to fall in literacy standards as opposed to other booming ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Users who download the application will get not only the best education and facilities but also have the ability to earn real-time money. This is made possible with the help of the system of presenting the questions with a monetary reward in the form of points for correctly answering every single item. The players can, for instance, earn a total value of $200 upon scoring a thousand marks by themselves. Every correct question results in the awarding of 5 points, which translates to a single dollar.<\/p>\n

Moreover, BookTime Africa also matches players in Circles, through the help of a leaderboard, which showcases everyone’s scores, unlocks achievements and may even help in syncing the progress with other devices.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the app interface is also quite simple and easy to understand and operate, resulting in nothing but an immediate sense of familiarity brought by the first time exploring the app.<\/p>\n

With the help of Iyanu (a company aimed at helping Africans create technology in both Africa and abroad), BookTime Africa has a new creative proposition towards all authors and movie makers with regard to any of their intellectual property.<\/p>\n

For any authors looking to engage in the application, these people only need to provide BookTime with 300 questions in either multi-choice, theoretical or image-based formats, and they shall be getting their own sub-category with the author’s name and movie credits in exchange of a token fee.<\/p>\n

You can take a look at the official website here at http:\/\/www.booktimeafrica.com\/<\/a>, as well as download for your own self through the app’s availability at Google Play Store through https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.booktimeafrica.quiz<\/a><\/p>\n
