Helping Ghana without Reinventing the Wheel
A friend’s client wanted to help Ghana. Microlending seemed to be a good way to do it. The client would collect money in the US, and fund small loans to farmers and entrepreneurs in Ghana. The web might even make the first half of this — collecting money and telling the stories of who was helped — easy.
My friend was all set to start writing code. That’s his business, after all.
But did code needed writing? I could think of lots of options for helping Ghana — and finding like-minded people — with sites already on the web.
