Which was your least favourite?
TR6. Please rate which was your least favourite? [Sterro, Jisort, or Workshops]
TR6.1. Why? - Filtered by 'Workshop'
- He attended one workshop only1
- He did not attend the first two workshops so he always felt left out in the discussions that followed like in the final workshop which was more of application of what had been previously learnt.1
- He never used the other two so can't compared1
- Like workshop,many people sometimes made me uncomfy to open up because I had not attended the first 2 workshops previously and so I felt not in place .I also had multitask acts of checking my child and listening too1
- Many things were to be taught at the same time with different people with different approaches which all this was under limited time and it was hard to take it all and what you take may not be hard to recall well after sometime .The first 2 were like a marathon and I grasped less1
- None1
- None. I liked both the Workshops and Jisort1
- Not really, I liked all of them, just that Jisort was better.1
- She didn't gain much1
- They had Very scarse and planned activities1
- They were many and so had alot of things covered in each specific workshop1
- Time was less and I managed attend only the last one so bot very less compared to if I went for all.1
- Time was limited, starting late, finishing late, wasted alot of time and participants were fewer hence got discouraged1
TR6.1. Why? - Filtered by 'Sterro'

- He needed to have airtime to chat, and he did not learn anything new through him.1
- He was good at teaching in steps and I could understand more1

TR6.1. Why? - Filtered by 'Jisort'
- "Kwa sababu haina mambo mengi, chenye iko kwa hiyo app ndio hiyo huwezi pata any more information."It was limited to what was initially provided on the app, it was not diverse enough to solve her other questions that were not included in the app and she could not get assistance on such unless she involves a friend.1
- At times he was online but i was busy hence limiting my chances of chatting with him and you need to have data bundles inoder to communicate1

- I didn't find immediate solutions to problems i encounter on my smartphone on a daily basis1
