It diverts the wasted energy and time in the start-up to delivering quality education in the long run.

Developing countries need schools. Lots of schools are being opened: by individuals, enterpreneurs, foundations, non-profits. Most of them spend years planning, funding, dealing with setbacks, and tweeking. Most of them would've shaved half their time if they had some information to start.

This project is an online data aggregation website. Users will get information on financing costs (i.e. construction of a school, maintenence, teachers' salaries), legal issues, other local information based on region and country. They can access this through an interactive map (by click on various regions), or by clicking on the top navigation bar (i.e. finance). 

Data is collected both by the team reaching out to operating school founders and management, and from individual schools registering and creating data profiles.
