Eighty percent of Africa’s population rely on self employment activities such as agriculture, handicrafts, and cooperative movement initiatives to make a living. Most of their hard-earned money is lost to middlemen who have access to outside markets. A direct access to these outside markets would right an injustice that has gone on for too long and reward African communities with a much needed income. The African technology landscape is changing fast and there are now internet cafes in many towns. My project taps into the potential of ICTs to connect African producers with potential markets. Here is how it works: Social networking may be a new buzzword in the West but it is actually a concept embedded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu (you are because we are.) That explains why cooperative movements are such a key part of African economies.. My project proposes to establish a social networking site for every African country to offer a platform for African producers to network with potential outside buyers and to offer them a place where they can market and promote what they produce. As a university professor who was born and raised in Africa but now works in the USA, I have been greatly inspired by Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank. I have therefore spent part of my salary to launch and promote one social networking site as a model of what I intend to do. The site is three months old and has successfully helped many Kenyans reach beyond their geographic boundaries. You can view this humble pilot project at http://www.mykenyanspace.net
