The Match-a-Maker website features the makers from MFA 2010 in Nairobi.  Check it out at www.matchamaker.info  Site concept & design by Butterfly Works.

At Maker Faire Africa 2009 in Ghana, ‘Match a Maker’ was a live match up to link people up who could help each other with technical advice, contacts, business advice etc.  We had some successful matches; a Ghanian business mentor who stepped up to advise young inventors and radio makers on how to make a radio station for a local orphanage, and the makers of beautiful plastic bottle furniture who got a website for their products.

As a follow up to the event in Ghana, Emer Beamer wanted to give more makers a platform to offer their services, source a collaboration, or take their invention to the next level; thus the match-a-maker web site was created.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for the site, please contact us.
