I wouldn't really look at myself as an entrepreneur in the traditinal sense. I am going into helping the poorest of the poor, so those that make around a dollar a day. My goals are many. Develop local systems that don't relly on donatatins as the mechnaism of revenue generation--instead focusing on relatinship building through partcipipatory planning, building communities, and also creating extensive databases that are basically ways of doing very thorugh community profiling. This looks at both capacity building and needs. From there I do one on one matching to connect the poorest of the poor with others. I have noticed that most software applications are donor based. I am trying to drive deep engagement that looks to connect the less fortunate more fully with others. Obviously this also means building something that doesn't exist. It isn't similar to any business or NGO or CBO. Obviously since I am trying to tackle global poverty in a new way, I am thinking outside the box. I have a long ways to go to pursue my dream. Enjoyed your article.
