HOPE of TANZANIA

The Africa I had imagined was with rough roads, expanses of savannah, rows of dirt houses, and people living with animals.
An area living with poverty in such environment.

That was an image of Africa.

However, that was completely off the mark.

My first visit to Tanzania, located in East Africa.
There I saw the latest technology and a skyscraper of buildings.
I was astonished by the sight.

The film depicts life in Tanzania, the latest technology, and the struggles of startup businesses, with the cooperation of three Japanese companies that are creating the "LEAP FROG phenomenon" in Tanzania by utilizing mobile services that were launched in 2007.
