Please describe your proposed solution.
We want to hire 2 locally based persons to help facilitate delivery of our educational program to students and professors in South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya and Morocco. These countries have the highest populations of developers and students studying computer science in all of Africa.
The problem is sourcing talented educators that speak Afro Asiatic languages. We are based in Canada and cannot reach out to these large talent pools to raise awareness of Cardano and the opportunites that exist in this space.
To further complicate matters, Niho Saharan languages are also spoken in the target audience so we will likely engage 2 new members to the CardanoOutreach family.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
Hiring 2 additional team members to present our educational program (speaks about Cardano, Cardano Foundation, Emurgo and Project Catalyst, as well as demonstrating successful projects like Minswap, Cornucopias and Paribus) and onboard talent to the ecosystem is crucial to the mission of Cardano and banking the unbanked. This untapped talent pool understands what is needed (to build out solutions and use cases for Cardano and blockchain) and the restrictions of working in their respective countries (ie the local challenges).
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Our greatest difficulty with be sourcing an educator who not only speaks the required languages but that shares the same passion and understanding of blockchain technology.
