# NOUNS BUILDER'S VILLAGE @ ETHSafari while Safari DAO gets Nounish

Requesting $45,216 USDC to proliferate Nouns DAO to a community of builders at ETH Safari in Kenya and transform Safari DAO into Nounish outpost in East Africa.

# Goals

## Establish a NOUNish Builder Village at ETHSafari.

Become the favourite DAO of East African Builders by providing on-venue accommodations for 200 ETHSafari Builders annually and establish a revenue stream renting out the nouns-branded camping equipment at other events hosted at the Beneath the Baobabs venue. 

## Establish Safari DAO as a Nounish Community.

Hold an in-depth noun-boarding for the core members of Safari DAO to become a consistent and active contributor to Nouns governance including providing comments on 70% of props, sending a representative to 70% of calls, and generating 5 quality proposals before ETH Safari 2025.

## Problem Statement

Blockchain’s potential to transform industries and create innovative solutions is becoming increasingly evident. Despite this, we still see a lack of diversity in the types of blockchain based solutions to address real-world problems. There is a unique opportunity to address this lack of diversity particularly in emerging markets like Africa.

### Theme:

This year we are not focusing on solving “Africa’s problems” we are focusing on creating “Africa’s innovations”. The theme is inspired by the Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty. This is about building projects from Africa, for the world. The book offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of economic development and poverty alleviation in low-income countries, challenging traditional approaches that often focus on infrastructure, education, and healthcare as primary drivers of development.
