Hi there,
I'm a native French translator, and thought that since your book takes place in francophone Africa, at least in part, you'd double your likelihood of sponsorship if you had it translated into French - you could also pitch it to francophones, from France to Canada to, actually, francophone Africa.
My bid is only there because that was the minimum allowed. My rate per source word is actually 0,03$. I'm not an agency, and my translation would fully respect your style and content.
Please let me know whether you'd be interested, and good luck with your project in any case. I'd be really curious to find out how it all came about.
Sincerely,
S..
