About Tafuta
Africa doesn't lack opportunity. It lacks visibility, trust and connection. Tafuta exists to change that.
What we're building
“Tafuta” means “search” in Swahili. We’re building a trusted directory where anyone can find real, verified businesses, and where businesses can be found, with profiles people can rely on.
We’re launching in Uganda, with Kenya and Tanzania next, and growing from there across East Africa.
Three pillars
Visibility
Making every legitimate business, entrepreneur and organisation easy to discover.
Trust
Building confidence through verification, reviews, transparency and credibility.
Connection
Connecting people, businesses, suppliers, investors and customers across Africa.
Our mission
To unlock Africa’s economic potential by connecting every business, entrepreneur, organisation and opportunity through a trusted digital ecosystem.
