A Worldpulse profile of Neema Namadamu:

I founded an NGO called ACOLDEMHA, to support women with disabilities to integrate into mainstream society. Among other things, we currently support a team of 14 women seamstresses with disabilities who make purses for Shakoshi Imports,, and clothes for a new women's clothing line out of Santa Fe, New Mexico called Couphaha.

In 2009 I began promoting a robust telecommunications technology for nationwide deployment in DR Congo. In 2011 I formed my own telecommunications company, Go Network, and by the end of that year, obtained a nationwide licensing grant with spectrum for voice, internet, and three TV channels.
