UNIVERSAL MOBILE MONEY TRANSFER AND BORDERLESS PAYMENT SOLUTION FOR AFRICA
Over the years, the mode of payment in Africa was by means of barter trade, this involved people traveling long distances carrying what they had to exchange with what they need. Food was being exchanged by food, this as many of you will agree with me was quite limiting and tedious there was absolute absence of double coincidence of wants, absence of common measure of value, indivisibility of certain goods,lack of standards for deferred payments and difficulty in storing wealth. Then came the cow… Continue

- Hi dear Michael,
Thank you for your message in Venture Capital, As I had to write you on the network, I founded a non-governmental organization "Integrated Development for the vision of Nations", in letters: "DIVINE" which is a nongovernmental organization, driven by humanitarian concerns including the purpose is the development, welfare, self-employment and cultural integration of disadvantaged people.
Considering the multifaceted crisis in which the Democratic Republic of Congo, our dear country is extended.
Due to the adverse consequences that result from an unhealthy environment including the resurgence of diseases such as malaria, cholera, tuberculosis and other diseases once eradicated.
To contribute effectively to clean up our living environment and working conditions.
Driven by the will and sentiments of our people adopt behaviors conducive to development.
Considering that the group, mutual support and solidarity is the remedy for the strengthening of peace between individuals living against the various evils of insecurity and intolerance.
Having faith in our training and our ability to fight against anti: poverty, environmental pollution, unhealthy, sexual promiscuity, juvenile delinquency.
Guided by the spirit of solidarity with ourselves and to our people.
Have decided to create a structure of our population through communication for behavior change, a non-profit called "INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT VISION FOR THE NATIONS" "DIVINE" in the acronym. I'm looking for organizations or partners to collaborate in this open area, and please also take knowledge of my post below.
In fact, our country Rep. Dem. the Congo, our country is unable to use sparingly the management of drinking water, and the physical and chemical qualities required for human consumption are often not respected, and given also the fact of water pollution and especially around Kinshasa, I mounted since 2005 a unit of drinking water treatment in Congo-Kinshasa to safeguard the lives of hundreds of Congolese without this food, and dying each day.
We treat drinking water that we put in bags of 0.60 liters and in cans of 5 liters. Currently, we distribute the food in Kinshasa and in parts of the country Bas-Congo.
Considering the customer and quality, we expect to export in all regions and in surrounding countries, but we must put it in pet bottles of 0.5 to 5 liters.
We are unable to manufacture these bottles at the pet Brassier, given the high cost and huge, we launched a few Research funding or support from investors, associates or financial partners involved in the acquisition or provision of equipment (machine manufacturing pet bottles, (blower), the next water treatment,
preforms pet, etc ...
We have this day to you to open a path to acquiring funding development. We have all documents (draft, etc. ...).
I am at your disposal for any information and I hope you do not bother about that.
Hoping to get a favorable response from you, my sincere thanks
