Why I'm building HKSchoolPal

I'm Kanwal. I'm a social scientist, a mum of 2, and I have no technical background at all.

I faced this problem firsthand when I was 7 months pregnant — overwhelmed, staring at untranslated government forms, and lost in contradictory WhatsApp groups trying to find a full-day kindergarten place for my son.

Nobody should need an insider just to find a school for their kid. And no family should feel shut out because they don't speak Cantonese or have $200,000 to spend on debentures.

When I discovered AI, I began teaching myself how to build. I built HKSchoolPal to be the honest, transparent friend I wish I had back then.

I build this app in the open, mistakes included. Every figure shows its official EDB source and date. If a fee isn't published, we say so rather than making assumptions.
