Please describe how your proposed solution will address the challenge?
Past events in the Blockchain Technology world we encountered a lot of Scam projects which costs people money and resources and these happened because we not only lack a strong foundation and connection of the Projects with the native individuals but also we lacked locally established representatives.
To build trust and strong connection with the East African Region, we are ready to provide contents that relates with natives provided by the native, contents which will be easily understood and assist to attract users and experts in the Cardano community in the East Africa Region.
With the collaboration of a locally established Company in Tanzania RFFXTZ Company Limited founded by Evans Kisanga which deals with providing awareness training programmes on the opportunities available in the Blockchain Technology and Financial Market. We are looking forward provide more awareness to Establish Cardano Community in Tanzania for a period of 1 year.
