Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who is the sixth richest person in the world with an estimated $54.2 billion fortune, on Thursday literarily taught Africans how to eat with bare hands in Kenya.
Zuckerberg landed in Nairobi on Thursday after his trip to Lagos, Nigeria.
According to the young ceo, the purpose of the trip
is to meet with entrepreneurs and developers and to “learn more about
mobile money, where Kenya is the world leader.”
His first stop was at iHub, Nairobi’s technology
center that provides programmers, developers, and other technology
workers a space to innovate. “I’m starting at a place called iHub, where
entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas,” Mr. Zuckerberg
explained.
“Two of the engineers I met, Fausto and Mark, designed a
system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of
cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than
charcoal or kerosene.” He visited a similar space, CCHub, in Lagos. (DT)
