### Purpose It's been hard to manage the thirty new centres that Sakhi has opened. There are a lot of messages and photos coming in but it's really hard to make sense of it or understand progress. The goal is to use technology to make this more efficient. ### Principles - Ethical. We want to be very careful about protecting the data particularly since we're working with children. ### Outcome Visioning We create a seamless way to understand progress among our learning centres. We build a suitable mechanism to follow each learning centre and child without making it too difficult for facilitators who are on the field. The application sits in the facilitator workflow and we are also able to capture and evaluate how our program is doing and build an evidence base. ### Brainstorming - What do I already know about this project? I have some ideas on what I can do and how I can use AI. I know what kind of themes we are looking for. - What don’t I know that I need to find out? I need to figure out what are the best practices while building an AI application. I also need to figure out how to protect data privacy of the children. - Who can I talk to who might provide insights? Prasanna has been doing participatory research and understands methodologies. Akshay could also be a good resource. - What can I read or listen to for relevant ideas? Can read about photo voice and how it works. ### Actions - [x] Experiment with scraping WhatsApp logs 📅 2025-09-18 ✅ 2025-09-19 - [x] Read about photo voice and how to capture information ethically ✅ 2025-09-24 - [x] Build a local classifier for images/video to see if images/video are sufficiently anonymised or can be blurred ✅ 2025-09-24 - [x] Figure out a way for me to extract my WhatsApp messages an image logs ✅ 2025-09-24 - [x] Anonymise names in the application ✅ 2025-10-14 - [x] Add Sakhi learning centres to the tracker ✅ 2025-10-14 - [x] Setup partners section for district and for center ✅ 2025-10-15 - [x] Setup volunteers section for centers ✅ 2025-10-15 - [x] Create mechanism to track children ✅ 2025-10-15 - [x] Add coordinator reports ✅ 2025-10-15 - [x] Make sure all names are anonymised ✅ 2025-10-16 - [x] Process September messages ✅ 2025-10-16 - [x] Build a platform for team to test out the LLM analysis ✅ 2025-10-24 - [x] Get and add start date for all the centres ✅ 2025-10-28 - [ ] Put sensitive data behind an admin password - [ ] Set up October reports - [ ] Update website and plug it into the data processing app
