About
Building technology for the problems that matter.
We don't believe in building technology for technology's sake. We identify problems, understand the people affected by them and create solutions that are useful, accessible and sustainable.
Our Story
Some of Africa's biggest challenges can be solved with technology.
Tech For African Problems was created from a simple belief: some of Africa's biggest challenges can be addressed through practical, thoughtfully designed technology.
We don't believe in building technology for technology's sake. We identify problems, understand the people affected by them and create solutions that are useful, accessible and sustainable.
