The Rafiki Ecosystem

Africa has one of the fastest-growing populations of technical talent globally. Our mission is to connect this talent to global opportunities through a 3-pillared approach to job-security, international exposure, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

We believe the high performance teams of tomorrow will integrate in-house resources with fractional talent on a granular, skill-specific basis, empowering companies to move quickly, efficiently scaling resources up or down as and when required to drive growth. Our goal is to streamline the use of time, money, and human capital across the freelance economy.
