Seinfo - An open-source digital library for Africans

Problem: Youths account for 60% of all of Africa’s jobless, according to the World Bank. In North Africa, the youth unemployment rate is 25% but is even greater in Botswana, the Republic of the Congo, Senegal, and South Africa, among others. With 200 million people aged between 15 and 24, Africa has the largest population of young people in the world. In most African countries, youth unemployment “occurs at a rate more than twice that for adults,” notes the African Development Bank. Our Solution: Remote and flexible work was found by The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report to be the top “demographic and socio-economic driver of change” in employment. Our platform enables African women and youth to learn digital skills as well as emerging tech to enable them to get remote jobs on platforms such as Fiverr, PeoplerPerHour and Upwork.

The website is available in English and is currently being translated to French and Portuguese to increase its reach in Africa.

Great Job Stephanie, excited to follow along!

This is awesome. I had been thinking about this idea for over a year now, and I'm glad someone was able to capitalize on it and actually build it. Congrats on the launch, looking forward to seeing it grow and improve. Thanks for making a positive difference in the world.

Great work! keep it up :)
