Organization Details
Growwr is an AI-powered hiring and upskilling platform that connects vetted African tech talent with global job opportunities—without location bias, financial barriers, or compliance risks. We help businesses hire faster and more accurately through smart skill-matching algorithms, integrated project management tools, and a secure financial system. Our platform supports gigs, contracts, and full-time roles, ensuring transparency, accountability, and performance tracking.

Impact Story
Growwr addresses high unemployment problems by connecting skilled professionals with fair-paying jobs and businesses with qualified Africa-based talent. As unemployment rates continue to persist, by 2050, “more than a third of the world’s young people [ages 15-24] are expected to be African” (https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/01/empower-africa-s-youth-to-create-jobs-growth-and-peace/ ).
We track impact using job placement rates (5000+ jobs placed), earnings growth (USD 500,000+ earned on Growwr), talent retention (100%), and employer satisfaction (96%). Our company’s mission aligns with SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
Many African youths are heavily underpaid, earning less than $2.15 a day (https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/african-countries-where-employed-youth-live-below-dollar215 ). Growwr aims to change this, having already helped 100% of our talent pool earn 4x their income in less than 6 months.
The intended impact of Growwr is to unlock economic opportunities for 200+ million African tech talent and change the way global hiring is processed. Great talents are everywhere, and our mission is to provide African talent with employable opportunities on the global stage. With our products, we aim to reduce underemployment in Africa.
