Well it was a bit optimist to undertake such a project by myself, to say the least, and I also\u00a0found out that my main camera didn&#8217;t like much the tropical weather! It overheated all the time during my interviews so I had to use my smartphone as a backup plan (thanks Samsung!).<\/p>\n<p>Outside my equipment and some locations pitfalls, I met some inspiring individuals and communities who are making the history. Out of e-waste, they are creating a cutting-edge technology and have a visionary outlook to transform their environment in spite of the challenges.<\/p>\n<p>In the next few weeks, I will bring you the stories of these inspiring innovative entrepreneurs who are pioneering what is set to be the next revolution in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a sneak peak of the stories coming up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #e6c200\">Building a Revolutionary Highlowtech Collaborative Community, with S\u00e9nam\u00e9 Agbojinou,\u00a0Co-founder of Woelab\u00a0which designed the first African 3D printer\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.francinebeleyi.com\/techafrica\/1-francine-beleyi-sename\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12253\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12253\" src=\"http:\/\/www.francinebeleyi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1.-Francine-Beleyi-Sename.jpg\" alt=\"1.
