eDrivingSchool.org was started in 2019 as a project under Standard Gateway LTD under the personal oversight and direction of Wallas and the Standard Gateway Team: the A Team. While developing KezaPay, the team started exploring partners to work with. Along the way, it became very clear that it was going to be a challenge for many established companies to integrate with their in development payment system KezaPay.

Initially the same project was tried in 2015 under code name of Mumuhanda Project, it however lost traction when the engineer who was responsible of its development Mr. Jeff Manzi disappeared. The circumstances of his disappearance as explained were personal, but when he was reappeared in 2017 the project was already shelved. Indeed, in 2016, Standard Gateway leadership took the decision to put the project on hold until other in-development projects are completed.

The project was relaunched for strategic and practical reasons. First, Standard Gateway as an organization focused on Education and Technology has always seen driving education as a big component of its future services. Secondly, the initiative was a perfect fit for scale and ecommerce penetration strategy, complementing Standard Gateway’s national examination preparation platform and in development payment system KezaPay.

Initially it is planned that a few countries will be availed on the platform: namely Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, US-Texas, US-Illinois, while content will be getting updated on an ongoing basis by a team that will also be driving usage, partnerships, transactions, and financial and operational sustainability.
