- How they came up with the idea and why they chose an online format for sexual education
- How they launched their platform through Facebook Messenger before building their own app
- How they are monetising the platform
- And how they work together with doctors and clinical psychologists
They also share why they provide legal support through their platform and what their advice for young people in the DRC is.
Flore is also sharing some of her insights in French, so this one is a must for all you bi-lingual folks out there.
There are a lot of valuable insights in this episode, addressing a really important topic. So we hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did.
