Haeso Africa, a non-profit organization registered in South Africa has developed a free marketplace where African Crafters can list their products for free. These costs create a high boundary to entry as most crafters can afford to buy only raw materials. After producing the goods, crafters are stuck with closing inventory on a daily basis as they try to get a buyer for their products. Even if they try selling at a craft trade show there is a stall fee required upfront. At the end of the day, crafters are discouraged from trading. We have decided to bridge the financial gap that's hindering crafters from being successful by creating a free marketplace that is meant for crafters across Africa. In order to access international markets, we fulfill our orders via DHL and FedEx, moreover, website visitors can change the product prices to their preferred currency, either ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD. We accept cryptocurrency from international customers that want to buy our products using Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, or USD Coin. For our local South African market we fulfill our orders via PUDO Lockers and accept secured credit card payments via Paystack, where there is an option to use your debit or credit card, snapscan, masterpass, and Ozow. Purchasing straight from African crafters does make a financial impact on individual households. Africa needs more economic activity especially now that the cost of living is high. Visit our marketplace and make a difference, it starts with you.
