Innovating in 3rd world country

Technology especially the internet makes it easy to escape the constrains of living in 3rd world country. Internet is genuinely a basic human right. It provides resources that wouldn't have been possible in my country.

I live in a landlocked small African country called Zimbabwe. With continued mismanagement of the economy, its a struggle to innovate and build products. Thankfully mobile internet is easily accessible though bit expensive. The internet has helped me a lot in getting resources to make innovation work here.

I have learnt how to program, how to start and grow successful internet business through the internet, its such a great resource to escape constrains of third world economy.

Its a struggle to innovate and survive when you first have to make sure you innovate ways to get basic human needs then after that you have to innovate on your product. I salute all innovators living in Africa.

The good thing though, its that there are many opportunities available to innovate in a developing country. You can start your business and grow with the economy. Africa as a whole has more than 1 billion people and that's a market ready for local innovative products. It makes me glad to be among the people trying to provide products to the African continent.

Reading indie hackers stories from experienced hackers is great motivation to know whats possible through innovation.
