Founder exchange is a great idea.
By African, you mean one of those people who has never seen a stable Internet connection or even a stable power line, or you mean a South African from Johannesburg?
Cause there's a big difference, and I don't think the former would have many good ideas for a developed country, even for it's worst areas. No offense, it's just that the more you're exposed to various things and technologies, even simple ones like silicone sealants, drain pipe cleaners, proper supply/sewage pipe laying, a plotter, or a proper 3-axis lathe, the more you're able to create.
And did you see first hand how things "work" in those systems? They barely function - I'm talking about waste management, bill payment and banking, Internet and electricity, even food and goods delivery/distribution (surprisingly hard when you don't have established land/sea/air shipping routes nearby) - things that you take for granted in the US, UK, Germany, any first world country.
Also, few things are designed for long term over there, it's mostly short term fixes and patches, over and over again.
