Builder


## Overview
**Building African DAO’s (BaD)** is an ongoing initiative in Nairobi and coastal Kenya that applies **nouns.build** tooling to grassroots communities. We are midway through our launch campaign, with the **PizzaSafari side-event completed**, and are now preparing for the next wave of activations.
This launch is not a stand-alone effort—it is the **first step toward the larger vision of the First 500 Campaign**, BuildaDAO’s flagship accelerator to empower Africa’s first 500 decentralized founders. The long-term goal is to deploy **500 organizations on mainnet**, train **10,000 innovators by 2030**, and engage **9 African countries by 2026**. Builder DAO’s support for the current launch phase directly connects to this continental vision.
We request **financial support from Builder DAO** to amplify this upcoming phase—covering marketing, educational resources, technical infrastructure, and brand presence that will ensure these activations have lasting impact.
