Hi all, we may lose this site today, there was not a lot of communications in the group, I tried to get it going, but it is just hard

Hi all, this sight may go down in the next few days, we cannot afford to pay the high charges to keep it going, I had hoped we wold get a lower priced offering, but we were not lucky. i do have a number of job opportunities for people in Africa, working from home on projects here in North America. Good communications skills are required and a willingness to work, just email me at pat@karamoja.org if yo are interested Thanks pat

We have found work for a few to start in our new model, but it is not as teachers or community health workers, it is as global workers Helping customers grow their business in other parts of the world, but the jobs are in uganda.

https://www.bitrix24.com/ Is a terrific platform, we are looking at hosting it now, for selling and support. We have al to of educated people in uganda, Africa with good writing and communication skills. There are literally thousands of jobs in the global market place, more like hundreds of thousands of jobs, for people that have good skills and a platform that is efficient. In high wage countries, they struggle to keep people and with Covid, many companies have to cut people, but if we can backfil with Great people at a very competitive price point and the tools in place to manage, we can dominate globally and create hundreds of thousands of jobs, the jobs are global, they are not in karamoja, or uganda, but with internet and a phone or computer, you can do the work

Jobs are not coming back to uganda and most of Africa, I think this is the hard reality of Where we are today. Covid is hurting small business, NGO’s are gone, government does not have the tax base to take care of their people, and Many jobs in the developed world can be done form home. I honestly think Africa has no choice, but to begin to shift and look for work globally, while staying locally. Many have al to of skills in Africa, but no opportunity, but if we can penetrate teh global market place with a new model and generate new revenue, than there is hope, but we need to think a lot differently.

We need to look at how we can first create opportunity for good paying jobs for people with skills in karamoja and in uganda. Tools like helpcrunch.com Make it possible, We can provide support, Sales, customer service from any computer anywhere, using a messaging platform built in and scripted Sales and support programs with product knowledge and this opens up enormous opportunity to make a lot of money for everyone. this app cost 25 per month, per person, and if a person can generate Say 10 per hour which is low, that is $1600 per month and it cost $15 to open this up and we have customers now who want us to provide this service. how many of you with university degrees are making $10 per month, how many a of you working now

Hi All, a couple of things, first, we can use the free version of this platform, not sure if it will meet our needs. Secondly, we are looking at another platform, we can control and we are not at the mercy of suppliers. I think this is going to get a lot bigger. I have been struggling with what the real problem is, and it comes down to Opportunity to make money. Bizoza and the TEP team are working hard to be great teachers, this is wonderful, but they are not being paid to even teach, this is wrong. I am involved in a community health project in Zimbabwe, again, health workers are trained, they are keen ,but they are not being paid. government officials are paid, the NGO’s are paid, but the people doing the perk are not paid, this is wrong on a thousand levels.

We live in an internet world, skills are transferable anywhere globally and people can live and perk anywhere. Cloud Empowerment is putting up Hosted global apps. There are other apps and cloud platforms, for the people with skills, they can provide support, they can develop, sell and do a hundred other things with cloud companies. If a teacher can teach and they are good, why should they not work anywhere online. if a person has good communications skills, why not support product and l from karamoja wherever in Africa. I have been asked to find peopel to do some work for a Canadian company, they cannot get good people ,but we have them in uganda, and there are good jobs here. I believe rather than skills development, we need to create opportunity and places where people will get paid for doing a job

Hi All, i regret to inform everyone that we wil lbe looking for a new platform . the people that run tribe would not give us a financial break, they want top dollar for a product that is not yet complete. I asked them for a startup rate, but they declined and the product is not worth the money they want for the complete version. Before this expires, I will get all lthe names from the site and when we put up another site, will share it with all. When we downgrade to the free site, we will move back to email to support the new ideas. We also have some jobs for people, but I need to figure out how to get a platform up to keep the program going, pat

So you know how I am thinking, we are talking about creating 1000 jobs in uganda, we should also look to seeing the teachers and health workers being paid a Great wage for the work they do, I actually think we can help them make more than the government does, and now they a have a choice, teach in Uganda, or stay in uganda and teach globally making multiple times more. it is wrong on a hundred levels, why good people work hard and are not paid what they are worth. This will be the singular driver in al owe do, help people gain a better life.

I have been bothered for awhile about an organization called, http://1millionhealthworkers.org. I have spoke ngo them, talked about technology and how it can empower health workers and there was no interest, which is fine. What bothered me more was the fact that they take in a lot of money provide some training, tell the world they share Helloing one million new health workers and they make it look like they are doing good work. In reality a very big percentage of those health workers leave the job, they aren’t to paid, and people expect them to work for nothing, when they have loved ones to take care of, yet the team at one million health workers gets paid. This is wrong on a thousand levels, They ahve a responsibility to help those workers make a fair wage for providing a great service.I think the goal should be to get one million community health workers trained and paid a fair wage. We have already started a project to compensate health workers based on donors seeing accountability. Another point, No one wants to touch helloing peopel get paid, they know it is tough, but thier dirty secret is, their model os way too inefficient to even think about paying anyone but themselves . Yes, I am being tough on them and I wil be equally touch on all who think that making people work for nothing is right, while they take home the money. healthcare is just one segment, i can think of many more where the local people are treated very poorly by the NGO crowd who should be doing more. Am I upset, yep, if it fair to ask peopel to work for free, nope, should a new model go into place that renders the inefficient outdated and out of work , yep. So here we go, one million paid community health workers , if anyone is interested in joining, drop me an email pat@karamoja.org

I had a pretty exciting day, identifying jobs for people in Africa to make a great wage, working globally, while staying at home in their village. We als o made progress on a program to help community health workers get paid, starting in Zimbabwe. I think as a starting goal, we should Set an objective to get at minimum 1000 people in karamoja and in uganda, great high paying jobs this year. I believe this is easily achievable if we work together. I also think we should set a goal to help at minimum 5 of you and your teams to create new business’s that can compete globally. Alfred and Cloud Empowerment got the go ahead today on 2 projects in Tanzania and in Zimbabwe. We are close to a third New business partner in Hawaii, who sells software globally. All of these services were made in karamoja and exported globally. As Cloud Empowerment grows, the opportunity for jobs behind it in many areas will keep growing. Personally, i think the goal should be one million new high paying jobs, not 1000 and if we set the goal high and we work as a team, we can do it. Over the next few days, i will lay out the strategy and those that want to join in can. the best jobs will go to those that put in the effort, they will have earned the right. Remember what Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it” While government and NGO’s Are trying to give away millions to train people with no hope of a job, lets get the jobs and then train the people with the needed skills to work these jobs and to help others get great jobs. Exciting times
