Granted, it's a research satellite but it's a good start

The Cubesat satellite weighs 1,000 grams and was developed over a period of two years at a cost of approximately US$51,500.
Ghana is the first Sub-Saharan African country to send a satellite into orbit around the earth, as the Ghanasat-1 was released from the International Space Station Friday, nearly a month after its launch from the Kennedy Space Center on Elon Musk's SpaceX flight 11.
