i'm starting a social venture to outsource work to africa (kenya and ghana). i need test projects to give my developers there -- right now, all we have are some fb apps. does anyone have any other work they'd like to get done for free, while we're testing the concept?

Great, I hope this works out for you.

I'm curious, how did your developers get their development skills? I don't know anything about professional education in Africa.

hi leila+c > this may be a little off topic. But why/how did you pick Kenya? The reason I ask is because I grew up there and I am curious how Kenya factored into your decision to outsource..

Having said that - good luck with the project. I know Kenya has a great entrepreneurial spirit & I am sure the developers will be a great asset to your startup.'

This sounds a little too good to be true - I would be a little careful in pursuing something like this.

Especially with no link to a website about the project, no details whatsoever, lookout for a "they will do this whole project for you, you just need to send them 2000$ to buy a server"
