As I am impressed by people launching their own businesses, research or projects in general, but specifically in Africa, I wanted to share that link with you. Check this out.
As everyone should know, it is especially hard to set something up when you have just finished college or university. Or to be taken seriously for funding at that stage, when you have ambition and interesting ideas but no impressive CV yet.
Not too long ago I introduced you to Kwami who is setting up a business in Ghana which will be waste-free and will connect local farmers to international markets, together with his co-founder Emily. It initiated as a university project. Very recently they started an indiegogo campaign which should help them launch the business.
I would kindly like to suggest, for people who have money and who feel like investing it in something ‘good’ for Christmas, not to recklessly spend on some kind of vague big NGO (you don’t know where the money actually will end up in the vast majority of cases anyway). But you might want to consider stimulating projects like Kwami’s…
