With further development, Washika DAO aims to enhance governance features, integrate with other DeFi platforms in the Celo & in near future other L2 ecosystems, and scale operations to reach more communities in East Africa. The grant funds will be used to improve the technical infrastructure, conduct security audits, and develop a translation curriculum for English and Swahili that is accessible to users with basic smartphones. Additionally, we plan to allocate funds toward community education programs to onboard users, especially those in remote areas. We also aim to scale our user base by expanding our pilot programs and conducting marketing outreach to attract new members.
