| Many people in Africa would like to start a business | | | | car-wash routes and work in a zone defense |
| and it is hard to find a business that is easy to do and | | | | pattern.One business person could buy all the carts |
| does not cost much to start. I propose that we make | | | | and rent them out to individuals, as independent |
| possible very low cost mobile wash push-carts that | | | | contractors and store the car wash push carts at their |
| could be used to clean automobiles and also used for | | | | building or yard at night then stock them with fuel, |
| cleaning. The wash-carts could be built with a plastic | | | | water and supplies each day. Or individuals could |
| water tank, which help 50-60 gallons of water and | | | | purchase them and run their own businesses. Either |
| have a very inexpensive pressure washer on it that | | | | way this would be a good business and improve the |
| was durable and needed little if any maintenance to | | | | quality of life in the city for many people and that |
| work. The pressure washer would run off very low | | | | would be a very positive thing indeed.By providing |
| batter power source.The battery could be charged by | | | | mobile type service businesses more people who are |
| solar panels, which would be part of the top of the | | | | willing to work hard could in fact get off the streets |
| push-cart. Other units for the city could be made to run | | | | and therefore also employ people to help them wash |
| off fuel and have very small low power generators. | | | | the cars and perhaps this could provide 3-jobs per |
| By keeping the cost down very low the return on | | | | mobile wash cart. I have been in the mobile car wash |
| investment would be doable and micro-loans could be | | | | business for 27 years and have designed such a unit |
| made to start the commerce going. Training could also | | | | and believe these should be built in Africa to also |
| be done very easily and up to 20 of these carts could | | | | provide jobs and then the entire project would be |
| be put in each major city to be pushed around on | | | | self-sustaining. Consider all this in 2006. |
