African Aviation
Hey there mickey_video;
I am not sure if this helps, but there are a number of African Airlines that you might want to consider in order to build your hours. That, and a few Asian Carriers too, especially in India, as the airline industry there is growing tremendously! (try Jet Airways, Kingfisher, SpiceJet)
I do understand that feeling of, "there's no harm in trying", and frankly, i'd say, drop an application regardless, because you never know the demands of these airlines..
As for Africa, you could possibly try OneJetOne, which is a new operator in Kenya flying A320s, if i'm not mistaken. I have a number of friends who started flying for the UN for relief aid around the region too, but you're dealing with turbo-props for that case.
Then, you could also try a few of the schemes in and around Europe, with companies such as CityJet, BMI etc..all you need is to drop an application, and keep your fingers crossed for now isn't it?
All the best! and, dont worry, you too will get to the 1000++ hours mark pretty soon, as long as you love what you're doing!
