Solution sustainability

Expenditures: the creation of mobile app, educational content creation, promotion and app maintenance. As early prototype of our app is ready, we estimate that finishing the app will require between 4000$ and 7000$. App maintenance(servers etc.) costs will depend on the number of users. Promotion and content creation can be done with partnership with governments, or our team can search content online. Here are options of application maintenance and profit.

• Free-to-download app with occasional ads in it in order to sustain the server and a right of being on the market
• App would still be free to download, but now it would require a subscription in order to work. 
• Totally free-to-use app with absolutely no ads in it and will work because of government support

In the mid-term, we will launch our application on market,and it will gain its first users,then some funds would be allocated to promotion and further updates and improvements thus we will get additional users. As for the long-term, we predict that millions of children will be more motivated to study because of our app
