Our Mission
-----------

Our mission at DeSci Africa is aimed at supporting scientists in Africa through Decentralized Science.

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.

How would we solve this?
------------------------

Through specialized meetups, travel grants, and events, among other things, the DeSci Africa community will raise awareness of decentralized science on the African continent. We aim to reroute funds toward research conducted by African scientists and laboratories while also creating channels of outreach and knowledge for those who are new to web3.
