Less than two weeks to the start of a new academic year, parents, teachers, and students are gearing up. Back-to-school shopping in Cameroon and Douala especially can be a daunting task for parents. From navigating crowded markets in the economic capital to rushing to banks for school fee loans and ensuring their kids have all the necessary supplies, the process can be time-consuming and overwhelming. This is even more stressful for working parents who have to juggle work with the back-to-school shopping. But what if there was a simpler way to get everything back-to-school supplies in one place without dealing with the crowded markets, the struggles of leaving the office during break to get school supplies, etc.? Here’s where POTOLO comes in.
