African Leverage
About
African Leverage started as a conversation — about commerce, opportunity, tourism, and the things this continent could do if the tools actually fitted. That conversation still runs on TikTok and YouTube. It now has a workshop attached.
Most software that reaches Africa was designed for somewhere else and adapted afterwards. It assumes mostly bank payments, fast internet connection, access to a laptop, a postal address, etc. The adaptation is usually the part that breaks: the sign-up nobody can complete, the payment method nobody has, the app too heavy for the phone in your pocket.
We start from the other end. What do people here actually have, and how do they actually behave? The answer is usually WhatsApp, Mobile Money, and a phone that is already full. So that is what we build for — not as a limitation to work around, but as the design brief.
AfriLev Maths Practice is live: A-Level Mathematics drilling for S5 and S6, aligned to Uganda's new competency-based curriculum, with over 6,000 original questions across both tracks.
Mileage Confirmation is coming: a way to check the true recorded mileage of a car imported from Japan, on WhatsApp, before money changes hands.
SenteZo is in development: personal finance built for how money actually moves here — daily expenses, mobile money, and clarity instead of foreign assumptions.
Founder, African Leverage
African Leverage began as an educational community — short videos on personal finance, data and business, made for entrepreneurs and business enthusiasts across Africa, on TikTok and YouTube. The audience kept asking the same kind of question, and the answer kept being the same: the information exists, it is just not reaching the people who need it in a form they can use.
That is the whole thesis behind the company. I founded African Leverage to stop explaining the gap and start closing it — sharing explainer videos and building practical solutions to the problems we face across the continent.
Financial literacy and decent education should be available and accessible to everyone.
African Leverage is the brand of AfriLev Solutions Limited, a company registered in Uganda and based in Kampala. We are small, and we would rather ship one thing that genuinely works than five that nearly do.
