Jambo: Pioneering the Largest, Most Influential Web3 Community in Africa
Onboarding the next millions of users into web3.
We are empowering the next generation of Africans by bringing the best handpicked web3 applications and financialized games to Africa, ultimately creating the first web3 superapp that will transform the entire continent.
Africans are well poised for mass web3 adoption. Africa is an extremely diverse continent. It has 1.4 billion people, and is a tapestry of distinct, vibrant cultures and languages. The African population is the fastest growing and youngest on the planet, with smartphone penetration at around 50%. Africans are also susceptible to currency instability, with some fiat currencies projected to inflate almost 200%. The African population is constantly looking for a way to preserve the value of their assets.
However, there is no unifying platform for these users, or an easy and friendly way to onboard these users to a plethora of web3 products. That’s where Jambo comes in. We are building the most comprehensive web3 user acquisition platform across Africa.
Jambo’s Vision to Onboard the Next Millions of Users into Web3
Jambo means “hello” in Swahili, which has more than 200 million speakers and is one of the 10 most widely spoken languages, not only in Africa, but in the world.
Our name reflects Jambo’s outlook: we are building channels to connect users in Africa with web3 ecosystems around the world, first by forming the leading Jambo Ambassador networks across the continent, city by city, to launch the first ever web3 classes across college campuses. Jambo will offer classes in each region’s local dialect, both online and offline.
What is Jambo Building?
By launching a pan-Africa super app, Jambo seeks to secure an early advantage by unifying web3 users who speak over 2,000 distinct dialects and are part of diverse communities.
Hundreds and hundreds of people across Africa are currently joining the Jambo movement every week!
What’s the Jambo Way?
JamboAcademy — Our ambassadors are helping translate and spread our vision in English, Swahili, French, and many other local dialects. We provide access to more web3 games as a collective, lowering the barrier-to-entry for everyone in Africa. Our training and education programs are designed to onboard a diverse set of users and players in the coming months. JamboAcademy’s original content, presented in a mixture of workshops and tutorials in both online and in-person formats, is tailored for our user demographic. We host these sessions to bring together the local community and empower the future generation of Jambo users.
We believe that web3 educational initiatives will be crucial to improving the economic prosperity of Africa’s youth.
Why?
Almost 50% of current university graduates in Africa cannot get jobs.
“The root cause of the problem is a mismatch between the education they are getting and labour market needs.” — Sarah Anyang Agbor, the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Human Resources, Science and Technology.
Jambo’s Outlook
Africa represents one of the biggest opportunities, as more than 75% of the population is younger than 35 years old. There are 650 million mobile users in Africa, surpassing the number in the United States or Europe, according to the World Bank and African Development Bank.
Plus, crypto adoption is already underway in multiple nations such as Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania (which are among the top 20 countries in the 2021 Global Web3 Adoption Index, according to Chainalysis).
With these long-term developments in mind, we at Jambo are laying the foundations for the largest web3 portal in Africa. It is time for Jambo and Africa to unite and discover ways to move the continent a step closer to financial prosperity through our ecosystem and superapp.
Jambo's footprint in Africa is spreading fast and JamboAcademy has been picked up by many local newspapers and online publications.
