Umoja — One Africa. One App.

Hi, my name is Cyprian Aarons, and I’m the founder of Umoja.

In Africa, most small businesses sell through WhatsApp, but they still manage payments, delivery, and accounting separately. It’s slow and messy.

Umoja fixes that.
We bring everything into one place — chat, POS, payroll, delivery, and accounting — all connected to WhatsApp.

A customer can message a shop on WhatsApp, place an order, pay, and get delivery — all through Umoja.

We’re starting in Zimbabwe, where over a million vendors already sell informally, and expanding across Africa’s 500 million WhatsApp users.

Our business model is simple: we take a small 1–3% fee on each transaction and offer premium plans for growing businesses.

We’ve built the platform and are raising funds to scale.
