Who are we?

We’re a couple who believes in empowering others, a mix of Ivorian/Vietnamese culture & strong and quiet character.

We love to travel and meet people, embrace their cultures, and share memories with them. We remember the joy in south America, the generosity in Africa, the smiles in Asia and the diversity in Europe.

We have a special bond with Africa, and will always support the community, even though we don’t forget all people around the world, no matters their color, religion, social class or geographic location.

Vanessa & Patrice

Why Cardano?

We believe that Cardano will change Africa forever, from the banking system to education and the way people interact with each other.

It’s the only blockchain based on rigorous scientist white papers with a defined roadmap and a vibrant community.

But most importantly we adhere to the same values.

“We’re Cardano. And, if you’ll permit us, we’d like to change the world.” – Charles Hoskinson

Our mission

The philosophy behind Cardano inspires us, we are committed to educate and spread the word to our family, friends and network.

We strive to support the causes that are important to us: education, children, environmental protection, health, and community development.

Every month we donate 30$ to a charity we trust and who shares our convictions. The next objective is to be able to use 50% of the profits generated by our pool to give back to the charities, and thus, increase donations.

We would like to thank everyone who will join our stake pool “AFRIK“, and thus, will help us to increase our monthly donation. This could not be possible without your support!
