I need Bill Gates or someone else with a big heart?
Many micro businesses in Africa could be started with as little as a few hundred Dollars...peanuts!
I have a great idea that could change many lives but to implement it will need someone with a kind heart and resources.
How do I find such a person?
It would perhaps need $50,000 to start with - not more. I want to make nothing from the idea. Being of African origin and knowing the continent inside and out I can tell you that $200 is a lot of money to many people in Africa. It can be all that is need for some to start a business.
Banks won't lend to these micro-companies or lend at ridiculous rates of interest ensuring the eventual failure of their businesses.
What they need is somebody to give them the money without strings attached and to give them good advice and mentor them. Each little business like this that succeeds changes hundreds of lives for the better.

You have asked (copied & pasted) the same question twice in the space of a few minutes for some reason, so I have copied the answer I just gave to the other question
"You are wrong I'm afraid, the logistics of starting any meaningful (profitable for your and/or the the people on the ground) business in the 3rd world costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Your great ideas are just that, great, but they need more than a few hundred dollars to get off the ground I can assure you of that"
