We are not searching for an employee but someone with vision and drive to become our co-founder or partner in the next steps of our ambitious business plan to help and equip people of marginalized populations with the knowledge and skills required to reduce poverty and drive sustainable development, by striving to build their human capital so they can compete for jobs in an increasingly globalized world.
We designed for this purpose a Solar-Powered, Communications
and IoT Hub, Kumba. For Kumbaya it’s a critical time as the company transitions
from research and development to offering products to the marketplace, we have
built the groundwork in technology, marketing and field testing what has led to
a new phase reorganizing the company’s structure incl team to a level up.
Our “Kumba” solar powers Light, phones and small USB
devices. Connect the Unconnected, it allows WIFI calling and has WIFI hotspot
for 5 devices build in, terrestrial TV and Radio built in, delivers the needed
basic educational content to gain needed knowledge. And it collects data
weather, climate, humidity etc.
The company has a network of subcontractors and consultants
for building all the elements of the Kumba. Besides the need for relevant
content development and building our data analytics team, it is Kumbaya’s aim
building a strong network of partners in the markets it serves through the
Telcom and satellite operators. Ultimate we will grow by adding grassroot local
sales reps and ultimate people on the marketing sales (engineering) and
customer service (Every happy user turns into an advocate to Improve our
Customer Retention).
Why the need to find the ultimate righthand partner (CTO) is
simple, first of all our founder (an impatient optimist dedicated to the belief
that all lives have equal value) is not an engineer, his strength is enabling
to consider new ways of approaching old problems that meet real-world goals and
are based on accurate, unbiased data.
He/She has a extensive experience In HW/SW and application
development, Our product is designed around a Linux Operating System, our
applications is wide range of portable health and networked devices, our
software is designed based on a intuitive user interface to ensure that low
literate or illiterate users have a easy way navigating.
Our technology doesn’t stop where we are today but is just starting for example Whereas we see with Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, creating Award token systems and a unique blockchain Persona ID, Birth and death Certification and help the unbanked with banking. Other examples by allowing a transparent ledger, Blockchain prevents falsified land deeds from stealing the land of small farmers. With no need for a physical building, Blockchain can save foreign aid money; through the data provided, Blockchain can optimize a developing economy. Cryptocurrency provides a small, but significant, step in helping impoverished people begin their own businesses.
