Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am also open to work for companies anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

In addition, my plan to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up your team.

codeforafrica··on No one expects young men to do anything and they respond by doing nothing (2022)
I see more single mothers here in Africa than i have ever come across in western countries. Lack of work leaves men unable to care for their family causing them to simply give up and walk away, leaving the mothers to fend for themselves. I see no supportive structures, discipline or culture to counteract that.

I haven't been here long, so my impressions are not founded on a lot of experience, but it looks like what is happening is that the villages are unable to sustain themselves forcing people to leave the village and seek their fortune elsewhere, which causes just as much of a breakdown of family and social structures as it does in the west.

codeforafrica··on The African workers driving the AI revolution, for about a dollar an hour
I think it's actually a bad idea to pay much more than that. If you do then local companies can no longer compete for these workers because they could not afford them, and once used to a high salary the workers would not want to work for less.
codeforafrica··on The African workers driving the AI revolution, for about a dollar an hour
A bigger house with tap water, indoor plumbing and electricity, a fridge, and maybe even a stove or a washing machine. Oh, and they can send their kids to a better school.

codeforafrica··on Fast Crimes at Lambda School
last week two students started learning on freecodecamp using a laptop i provide for them in my home. they work on their own, but they can ask me when they get stuck. so far it was mostly telling them to closely reread the instructions to see if that provides a clue. when they finish the html course, i'll pay them to update my website (it's all static html) then i'll see if i can get them started on javascript.

not sure yet where this will go. the first student that tried that gave up after a few days. don't know why. maybe he felt it wasn't for him. fine.

codeforafrica··on Ask HN: Who needs help this holidays?
I am not sure if this fits here, but there have been a few people posting who are struggling to find work, and so maybe this is a good audience for me.

First of all, financially, I am still good. I have a runway of about a year in expected payouts from past work.

About a year ago I moved my family from China, where I lived for 15 years, to Africa to start a new venture. At the time I had a customer who stuck with me and continued to pay me for work, so I was financially secure while making that move. Unfortunately a few months ago after 10 years of working together this customer had to end our cooperation due to lower profits on his side. I like to think that he stuck with me as long as he could afford it, and I am very grateful for that.

In China I had a great experience working with junior developers, training them and giving them a kind of work experience that they would not get in a Chinese company, and build a bridge between Western and Chinese cultures.

I would like to continue this kind of work in Africa, and I am looking for work that enables me to do that.

I am not creating a charity, and I am not looking for donations. Although you could pay me to work on your or my favorite Free Software or Open Source project. Aside from that I am simply looking for customers or employers who want the money they spend on their projects to have a secondary effect beyond just paying someone to get the work done.

I spent the past few months in Europe working hard to build a new network, going out almost every evening to events to network with people. My network is slowly growing. Better than my past networking efforts in China, but so far no solid offers materialized yet.

You can help if you have connections to people that believe that business should have a social impact. Or if you have ideas how I can improve my chances at finding those connections.

I am open to any kind of software development contract work from established businesses to startups who need a technical co-founder.

You can find my email in my profile.
