Rwanda as well as several other countries in Africa are in a very interesting place right now. Their people are in need of better health services, education and social mobility which can all be enabled by better technology. Combine this fact with the state of tech: it's now easier than ever to launch and scale a service. Additionally, since smart phones and IT infrastructure are still lagging, developers of all types have a real opportunity to 'softwarize' [1] these countries before they develop legacy, siloed infrastructure that's often seen in the US. There's so much low hanging fruit that we can pick off to improve and I'd encourage anyone here to do so. [1] http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-DGB-41016 http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-DGB-41016
