When i conceived the idea of SWAPafrica, my vision was to build a community that is resilient to everything, especially the external forces and slavery championed by uncontrolled capitalism and money economy. I didn’t have coding skills to realize my dream but i was patient. So i took a long road and built the dream with patience.
Along the way, some few wise men recognized us, understood my vision and joined me. Few investors and corporations, though with a different approach to economics and money, supported me. These included Total, Tony Elumelu Foundation, Netherland Trust Fund, Uncap and others. I didn’t have much to show them, no money, but they still believed in me, in us. Slowly by slowly, we built the dream.
We started out enabling swapping, lending and borrowing in a very disorganized way back in late 2018 and bigger part of 2019. But it is then that Total believed in us. We later organized ourselves a little better and kept pitching our vision; a community that wants to live for each other’s need. A home of abundance of resources, for both the rich and the poor. Many more people believed in us and, yeah, I managed to get on-board the first committed SWAPafrica team. Thank you SWAPafrica team.
However, challenges remained with our online barter trade system. Questions included, what if I want what you have but I surely don’t have what you need? We pushed on with such difficulties and wrestled with such questions. I knew the answer for that question on day 1 when I conceived the idea but couldn’t implement it; I needed reliable software development. Reliable software developers aren’t there and, if they exist here in Uganda, are very expensive !
Surprisingly and fortunately, tonight, we wanna announce the solution to all the limitations and hard questions of our online barter system; SWAPafrica virtual currency. Literally, we are building a closed loop economic system. We invite you to join our community and experience what it means to live abundantly; you will never lack!
With SWAPafrica virtual currency system, called SWAPafrica francs-SF, you can now buy and sell all sorts of goods, skills and services within SWAPafrica community using SWAPafrica francs. Listen, SWAPafrica is the only model that doesn’t feel the existence or threats of COVID-19 (Surely, we do feel it!). All I am saying is that SWAPafrica community should be able to stand strong and remain resilient amidst world’s worst crises because we surely don’t rely on newly manufactured goods nor do we ship our goods and services from far; SWAPafrica re-distributes, shares, re-cycles and puts to use what is already available, thereby ensuring abundance for everyone and saving the environment from unnecessary resource depletion. It is like calling your family together to fend off a crazy bear! When you join us, you will see it.
With SWAPafrica francs (1 SWAPafrica franc=1000 UGX), SWAPafrica is now a closed loop economic system with its own local currency, sometimes called ‘complementary currency’. Let us see where it all ends. The truth is WE ARE JUST BEGINNING! Sign up today at www.swapafrica.net
God Bless You
