I nominate Peter Ongera of www.africanhomestay.net because he organises homestays by locals for tourists to do voluntary work and educational and cultural tours in Africa.The locals are directly paid by the tourists unlike when the tourists pay industry players who are mainly foreign-owned (whose taxes to government are not used to improve the lives of those living in tourist resorts). His concept of homestay is part of the cultural tourism that, according to World Tourism Organisation, accounts for five per cent of global tourism and grows at a 30 to 40 per cent rate annually - Sharon Green, Nairobi
