We talked about the PROJECT AFRICA because we have seen what is happening in ghana and how hive is putting a smile on their faces with the water borehole projects and other projects like bringing the youths to the platform and more and we thought to ourselves if hive can make people smile over there then they can do the same for other African countries.
We are willing to make this move by leaving our comfort zone to help others in need and during a research we found one African country that needs help and support, we know hive is not a charity organization but then hive is a blockchain of which a charity organization can be built from and we believe the people and brands here are full of love cause I have seen a lot of good things hive has done.
We are willing to take hive to congo through beconnected but before we start talking about our plans lets talk a little about DR CONGO as learnt from our research.
DR CONGO
Democratic Rupublic of Congo popularly known as Dr Congo or in short DRC is an African country located in the Central Africa, they are second largest and fourth most populous country in Africa with over 100 million people.
The capital is Kinshasa, a city along the congo river across from Brazzaville, the country is known for its diverse geography which includes the rainforestn mountains, savannas, rivers and rich biodiversity.
They were colonized by the belgium in the late 19th century and gained their independent from Belgium in 1960, the country has experienced conflict, including the first and second congo wars (1996-1997 and 1998-2003).
THEIR ECONOMY.
Congo has natural resources such as copper, cobalt, diamonds, gold and coltan which are essential for electronics and electric vehicles batteries but this resources has been the reason for their conflict rather than becoming an avenue to development. Telling us that even with such promising resources they remain the one of the poorest countries in the world.
Congo speaks french as their official language but has over 200 languages spoken like swahili, kikongo, English and more. They also have a vibrant musical culture.
They have human right issues such as sexual violence, child labor, and exploitation in mining.
That will be all for now concerning what we have learnt about them for the main time, as time goes we will dig deeper to learn more.
WHERE AND HOW DO HIVE COME IN?
We are currently in search of a congo based hiver who is willing to work with the beconnected team to bring hive down to congo, we believe that if we can get at least 100 person to be active on hive, educate them about hive and carry out projects over there then there can be actual change.
Investing in their Education and healthcare system can help them, giving the less privilege a chance to want to make a change in the society and also showing them and the world that blockchain is the future and can make a huge difference.
Hive can also invest in the agricultural sector in congo to help provide equipment for model farming and reduce the rate of hunger.
We know we can't solve their entire problems but we believe that with the right support and team if we go with a proper plan work to this country we can make a positive change that would affect the people of congo and give them hope that there are still brands and people out there that actually cares for their wellbeing.
We saw this image on X, Child labor is everywhere in Congo, with hive we can send this kids to school to get educated and have a good life, the leaders of tomorrow are suffering in today's world and it can lead to more suffering if not taken care of, doesn't matter where you are from.
There is a team willing to go out there and reach out to these people and if you wish to talk more about this project we are on twitter with the username beconnected01.
We Love and believe hive blockchain will change the future of Africa for good.
