Secondary schools in an East-African island known as Zanzibar lack a way to manage student information. While visiting the schools, I noticed that all records were kept in a book, including names, numbers, addresses, and grades of students. While the headmaster has access to a computer, no one was available to create a simple, easy to use database management system in Swahili. I was inspired to write a piece of software in a day (due to limited time) that could be widely distributed and configured simply.
