We combine impact and data collection to generate powerful insights that expand inclusive economic participation and market access across rural and cross-border economies.
Why we build technologies for women in trade
Using technology to empower women-led businesses has ripple effects that can help create lasting change for households, communities, and market systems. That’s why we put women as traders, producers, and customers at the centre of our products, services and delivery models.

Sauti East Africa, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, has produced a report comparing business activities of youth and female-owned businesses before & after-COVID-19. This report presents a quantitative understanding of the trends and patterns in resilience and innovation by informal cross-border trade (ICBT) in East Africa.
