Our First Proposal which passed in the March 2018 DAO Cycle has achieved a lot in Africa creating Over 3,000 Wallets, 40+ Ambassadors and Outreaching into 7 Countries in Africa. TRANSFORMING AFRICA INTO DASH HUB PROPOSAL LINK
Last Month the Project became successful with amazing coverage from Media and Crypto Outlets in Africa showing the tremendous efforts out together to achieve Dash growth in Africa.
INTRODUCTION
Blockchain technology and DASH is rapidly gaining popularity all around the world. Ever since its entrance to Africa, DASH has been used to provide a solution to the various problems plaguing the continent from Remittances to Merchants Acceptance and Daily Usage. DASH Digital Cash seems to hold the key to build a financially inclusive digital economy in the continent. It could also help to
solve Third party Influence (Government and Banks) and get Unbanked and Underbanked people to save Money and get value for it using it numerous amazing features like Instant send, Private send, Decentralized Autonomous Organization and Self-funding, Self Governance Ecosystem.
This project intends to reach about 45,000 people in 3 Africa countries (Togo, Benin Republic and Cote diviore) in 3 months’ Time frame. We want to get in touch with Entrepreneur's, Business owner, Restaurants, Individuals to Use Dash for settlement of Bills and payment of Services like Airtime, booking Airline flights and accepting its Online and In store (Merchants and Vendors).
Dash is a revolutionary digital money system which serves as a means of payment, for basic utility payments and use for transactional purposes (remittance and donation). The problem with cryptocurrencies is the lack of real life use and with the true features Money Dash has the Ecosystem is steadily growing and turning to become the best choice to all in Africa.
Our target in the proposal are Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Youth, Vendors and Companies in Togo, Benin Republic and Cote diviore in order to increase DASH Awareness and Adoption by spending and utilizing DASH in real life scenarios thus creating an Ecosystem in Africa regions.
PROBLEM
However, despite the numerous benefits, DASH holds for Africa, A lot of Africa still need to be Educated and Get them
Involved using Dash Digital Cash Services every day. Africa population had an estimation of 1,290,221,906 billion people; Africa has remained one of the poorest regions in the world with about two-fifths of its Population living on less than $1 per day. Although some countries have great economic performances, none of them have however been able to make a drastic change in the poverty ratio.
However, DASH is offering a way out for the continent and providing people with Low transaction fees, Self-Funding and Self
Governance Ecosystem to solve Hyperinflation and economic crises for better
lives for all.
So therefore, the need to launch a Pan Africa Integration Projects from Dash Hub Africa.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
1. Increase Dash awareness and rampant adoption by businesses.
2. Expand the usage level of Dash in Africa.
3. Mainstream media would help publish and propagate the funfair creating an environment for new wallets creation and
newbies acceptance.
4. Impact on the lives of the French speaking populace and teaching them about the newest revolution of money (Dash Digital
Cash).
5. Create an enabling ecosystem for newbies and support needed about the Technology.

Thanks for the continuous support!!!
Showcasing the power of spending Dash DigitalCash in Africa
- Is your target to increase the number of wallets by 2500+ or to achieve a total of 2500+ for those countries during the proposal (so an extra 800 wallets)?
- Are these wallets downloaded through the Play/App store? If not how do you intend to track these installs?
- Do you speak French?
- Will you list all new businesses that adopt Dash on DiscoverDash? To make it easier for people to find places where they can buy with Dash.
- Are you collaborating with juwon123's dashcart.app? Also making it easier for people to spend their Dash?
- What do you think about the viability of the krypto phones in Africa? Would it work? Have you tried reaching out to Core to see if launching them in Ghana would be a possibility?

2. At Dash Hub Africa we encourage our merchants and users to download Dash Wallet on iOS App and Android App which can be traceable at all time.
3. I speak French but not too fluent so we are working with the team already trained about Dash in this sub regions.
4. Kripto mobile project is a great and so laudable, If considered well would help both adoption in Africa as we introduce product along side payment service (Dash)

Wouldn't flying to those other countries be a significant part of your budget? Or did you pay from your own funds?
Also, the funding for my trip to Kenya wasn't from Dash treasury. I raised Donation and Community members donated to us. So that we can continue growing Dash in Africa.
Thank you!
Abdullah
We appreciate your support on our previous projects.
Dash Hub Africa focus is to transform Africa continent into a place where Dash can be easily spend anywhere and anytime.
Even though the treasury is now tight but we need to continue efforts to make Dash become Number One Payment System and Merchant Solution as we work hard day by day to achieve this dream in Africa.
Check the list of Businesses that we got posted on Discoverdash Accepting Dash in Ghana, Togo and Kenya.

We want to continue creating impacts on Life and real time adoption for Dash in Africa.
Thanks for your continuous support!!
Africa usability is certain as more people spend Dash on basic utility like Airtime on Bitrefill.com, Electricity and Water bill payment and others.
The Return on Investment will be great at the end and we would achieve Active Massive Adoption and Usability of Dash in Africa.
Africa isn't a poor continent as portrayed. Nigeria has the largest trading volume in Local Bitcoins, and Nigeria is second, Ghana 3rd in the volumes of Paxful!
https://news.bitcoin.com/p2p-market-paxfuls-reaches-40-million-in-monthly-bitcoin-volume-in-africa/
200+Trained Stalwart? Flag
5000+Wallet downloads? Flag
“Massive” Merchant Drive? Flag (Seen these buzz words in a lot of other African proposals, basically meaningless)
This proposal, like many of the Dash Africa proposals before it, is full of hype and is so open to manipulation in most of it’s claims that there’s not much you’re accountable for. I would rather divert any funds available this cycle to efforts in South America right now; there is more concise and prevalent community formation in that regions. No from me, please convince me otherwise with solid evidence of what you’ve achieved so far and where the value is here. I really can’t see it.
Dash Hub Africa has traceable and trackable achievements for Dash in Africa. For instance in May 2018
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w1eboSofScyXZeMqI00DzxVVIQDX9df-/view?usp=sharing
In Ghana, we have 19 Community Team working and contributing their quota for Dash growth and Dash Hub Africa has successfully grown Dash outreach into 7 Africa countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Cote diviore, Kenya, Benin Republic, Uganda and Ethiopia)
Our plans is to make Dash spread like wild fire in Africa, Don't forget DASH is a currency for all not for a segment of the world or country "In as much as Africa economy offers the best opportunities and Market for mass adoption Targeting Everyone is key"
At Dash Hub Africa, we do Real time adoption not listing race. For instance, last month I was in Kenya, I got some numbers of businesses to Accept Dash but non of those business are listed on discoverdash.com, The condition is that we see what growth you can offer for Dash in your locality and the progress in daily transaction of Customers spending Dash then we consider you listed on www.discoverdash.com
Don't forget I can convince more than 1,000 Businesses to accept Dash in a week but what impact does it add to Dash Network and how many people transact paying with Dash that is why we have a focused plan to grow this business to create impact for Dash in their business area.
I hope this will convince you, to keep supporting our grassroots work and the progress we are making everyday for Dash in Africa.
Best Regards
Abdullah Adeleke

Coordinator
I can't say enough about the enthusiasm you and your team have for the project, and I don't doubt that you guys have put your heart and soul into this for quite some time now. But in considering the entire treasury right now I have to make some difficult decisions, and this is not the only proposal where I feel that I need to cast a painful 'no'. Hope you understand and good luck -
Our team is already in Togo, Benin Republic and Cote diviore.
Dash Hub Africa have team members in 8 African Countries who are contributing their quota to Dash Network. The aim of this proposal is to integrate 3 countries out of 8 coverage area to accept Dash and increase usage from Africa.
Hope this convince you and we hope that you give us your support. Thank you
THIS IS HOW DASH WINS!
