iSpani Is A Start-Up Aimed At Empowering Unemployed Youth With Skills And Resources. iSpani offers a real-time solution that gathers business intelligence and market research, untangles consumer insights and behaviours and fosters financial inclusion in emerging markets. iSpani is a social enterprise that is focused on insight-led sustainable empowerment. It applies business principles and its deep understanding of emerging markets through its technology to deliver value to its clients.
iSpani’s vision is to use successful direct sales and distribution models to empower unemployed youth with the skills and resources to become micro entrepreneurs. Its mission is to leverage data insights to foster development and economic transformation in Africa. It envisions young people playing an active role in leveraging data to foster impact innovation. The challenge facing brands and businesses is that they lack data and real actionable insights into this large and traditionally untapped market — iSpani aims to change this convention.
The company assists people to become micro-entrepreneurs so that they can be able to earn a living. People have to complete campaigns and earn points & money on their own time, in their own community, snap photos, conduct interviews etc. After their data is submitted, it is verified to ensure that only the highest-quality results are delivered to the customers requesting it. Earnings from all verified entries will go directly into their digital wallet. They can then request payment through cash bank deposits.
“My name is Thelma Tinotenda Munyonga. Ispani helped me in many ways it opened my mind to new ideas, how to approach customers, how to be your own boss, how to deal with challenges within a business on your own and how to be patient cause you deal with different things and people and it’s not always about the money it’s what you can do just to mention a few. Why should this opportunity be given to other young people I believe it will open their eyes it’s not always about working for someone you can actually be your own boss and help them to see with the knowledge they have they can build an empire in the future it takes patience and effort” said Munyonga on the company’s website.
