Well, if you can't get programmers, maybe it would even be impossible to get customers. I live and work in Africa, and I feel that what Africa needs is knowledge and training. Charging poor folks to learn programming may be a bit hard to turn into a successful business model. And if you can't afford to shell out 2000USD, then you have to re-work your business structure. BTW, how come you can program while others in your community cannot? Are from moon or what? And to produce a programmer from your pressure pot may be impossible. Programming is not something like basic language, it goes beyond that. And learning to program is indeed a hard exercise which might take a long time. Cut your expectations, code your App alone. I wish you a wonderful new year!

I agree, funding is not the first step. It sounds like there a few bigger challenges, like understanding the market.
