Turn to the nearest problem that you see, that you have a strong drive to solve. This world needs refining. Everything in order at home? On your street? In your neighborhood? Your City? Your State? Your Country? Here in Africa we have plenty of issues needing attention. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals Personally I was introduced to the poor standard of early childhood development in my city by a friend, and since then we have built 3 schools. Just in my immediate area, there are around 40 that need attention, and across the country of South Africa there must be thousands. The cost of a simple building to handle part of the problem is around $25k. Another problem we face is high unemployment, so we pay people from the community to help build the schools. Lack of access to quality education, skills and funding are the challenges we face. A lot of research still needs to be done on extent of the problem. I have been dreaming of an app that maps all of these ECD centers and rates them on various metrics, like quality of education, building, and nutrition. An app that would allow professionals who would like to give their time a list of options of places that need their help. Like crowd funding, but for skills. An app to allow the greater community to see, engage and solve the most pressing problems around us, all over the world. Also and app like Uber or Airbnb, but for artisans and skilled contractors, with similar rating systems. There are many crowd funding sites, but it’s time to go deeper and actively seek out and solve issues. https://www.designindaba.com/tags/joe-slovo-west-community-project https://www.designindaba.com/tags/joe-slovo-west-community-p...
