OkHI is funded, has a great team and is rolling in Kenya:

Their mission is to give everybody in the world an address. Something that people in the West take for granted, but isn't available for most of the globe's citizens. This is also a major opportunity business-wise of course and if I could invest, I would.

is another very clever effort aimed at solving the same problem

As someone who spent the majority of this year living in Kenya I have to say that this was one of the weirdest things I had to adjust to. I was maybe living 10 minutes drive from the centre of Nairobi and no one could agree on what my actual address was. Directions were always given as references and as for receiving mail well good luck
