Today ! takes us to Jijiga, the last stop on our regional tour! 19-year old Mohamed Amin developed a web app for online shopping to help modernize the market in Jijiga. "Along with many other poor farmers and small retailers, thousands of cattle herders are disadvantaged because our market system is not open, fast, or customer friendly. I want to change that through my online shopping web app," he says. This project is just part of his vision. Mohamed is working on an even more advanced project -- to establish the first private nanotech lab in Ethiopia. "Right now, I have sorted everything in my mind and I am even working on the technical aspects of that lab, but I need two fundamental things: the right amount of capital and the right people."
