I am David, 31 years old, French and father of 2 sons.
Currently, I hold the role of Chief Technology Officer at Baobab+, a social business aiming at enabling access to energy, digital and finance products. We distribute our products in rural areas in Africa, and sell all our products in “pay as you go” (Similar to leasing) to make them affordable to the most (typical cost < 0.5 usd / day) .
Customers, proving their trustworthyness with good repayment enter a virtuous circle and get access to larger products (e.g. basic phone or a fridge) or loans.
Hello there !
I’m David, 31, French, father of 2 - recently moved to Madagascar.
I would be really interested to get in touch with EA community members in Madagascar. Also I believe there’s also an opportunity to spread the movement here, given the poverty and inequalities issues are really tangible here.

I would be thrilled to study a bit closer the impact we’re having compared to other initiatives.
