Who are we?
We are a group of students from the University of Washington who wants to help disadvantaged students as UW.
Our inspiration
We hope to use information technology to give parents of low income and poor families the tools to empower their children to break the cycle of generational poverty. This is why we chose to name the project “Project Oprah” after Oprah Winfrey. Oprah is probably the most well-known rags to riches story. The talk show host went from a poor, single mother, at the age of 14, to an enormously successful media mogul.
Our Mission
Provide a safe anonymous space for anyone who might be at a financial disadvantage. Our solution will focus on the needs of low-income students enrolled in higher education, giving them direct and anonymous access to anything they might need.
