In a 21st Century economy were E-Commerce and B2B dominate the landscape of trade Doug Dicker of Africa Art is sophisticated and unique operating trade as a small business supply chain exporter while maintaining an Art Gallery in his native Australia. Faced with challenges to navigate and forge relationships with microenterprise development eager to respond to the pressing needs of the local economy while trying to foster foreign investment; Doug has developed a reputation second to none with his honesty, patience, and loyalty in negotiating the fair trade for all parties concerned. This unique and sophisticated business model has a more important purpose partnering with a local church to build and support a “School & Orphanage Project”. This movement is helping fuel the micro financial need which seems to offer a way to put more power and dignity into the hands of the people of Zimbabwe, investing in their dreams and ideas rather than just offering traditional charity. We cannot hide from the problem of poverty. This growing movement of small local supply chain businesses has helped to fuel the local economy and with businessmen such as Doug Dicker has challenged our consciousness with an honest workable partnership solution.
