What we are building has never existed before, unique and very scalable. Our revenue model is very profitable and our product is positioned for global impact!

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Over 100 million female-owned small and medium scale businesses in Africa are offline. The problem is that millions of these female owned businesses consider technology either expensive or too complex to adapt, and so they are marginalized and only operate physical stores. Today, more than 60% of Africa's population is under the age of 25. By 2030, young Africans are expected to constitute 42% of global youth. What lies ahead is a disaster if the education of these girls are not taken seriously. The average African girl child lacks relevant global in demand digital and tech skills for a digitally-enabled future. This is where Hermplify comes in. With respect to the United Nations' SDGs, Hermplify tackles gender inequality, eradicates poverty, increases access to quality education for women and girls.
