# Project South Africa: Powered by iKhaya AI ## Overview One-stop-shop web application to empower disadvantaged communities in South Africa with digital literacy, health education, wellness support and community engagement. ## Quickstart (development) 1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in values (DATABASE_URL, FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS, SECRET_KEY). 2. Create a virtualenv and install requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt` 3. Run the Flask dev server: `python run.py` 4. To run tests: `pytest -q` ## Notes - This repo uses SQL Server connection strings (SQLAlchemy). For local dev you can use a different DB by updating `DATABASE_URL`. - Firebase integration requires a service account JSON file. Place its path in `FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS` or set up environment variable.
