Overview of how FREETALK works within the school environment.
The FREETALK card is distributed to the parents of learners. Without changing their existing purchasing habits, the parents apply these cards at participating shops and other partners when purchasing goods, products or services. The school receives a percentage of each transaction made by using the cards distributed by the school. In addition the card user receives airtime as a percentage of purchase to a nominated cell phone number.
The school will receive a free web site and free proprietary software that will enable updating of web information without the need for special web or internet knowledge. The software is extremely easy to use and is designed around simplicity. If a school wish to maintain and keep their present web site as is, they are welcome to do so. A link will then be placed within their present site to a business directory to enable visibility of business partners.
