**The Problem**
Due to the little number of scientists and laboratories operating there, Africa looks to be a market with little to no opportunity for science. Access to resources is the main barrier to science in this environment.


**Solution**
DeSci Africa is dedicated to empowering scientists in Africa through the principles of Decentralized Science. Our goal is to build a thriving community that promotes the awareness and adoption of decentralized scientific practices across the continent.

To achieve this, we create and curate high-quality educational content that is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or expertise. Our content is designed to provide valuable insights into the benefits of decentralized science and how it can be applied in various fields.

In addition to our content creation efforts, we also actively participate in conferences and events to spread the word about Decentralized Science in Africa. Our long-term vision is to establish a vibrant network of DeSci meetups and conferences across the continent, providing a platform for scientists and enthusiasts to connect, learn, and collaborate.

Join us on our mission to bring Decentralized Science to Africa and make a meaningful impact on scientific research and development across the continent.


**Update Since the last round**
We were a part of GR15 round and thanks to your contributions we were able to do the following last year:

- We attended Technext Conference 2.0
- We attended Web3 Lagos Conference 
- We had a speaking slot at DevFest Enugu
- DeSci & ReFi & DEIA Workshop with FrontierDAO, Crypto Altruism & DeSci Brazil
- 10+ Twitter Spaces involving projects like Shamba network, DeSci World, IberoAM, Gitcoin, Crypto Sapiens etc.
- Made cool merch to share to frens.
