SDG 1: No Poverty
Reliable payment rails that put client money directly into communities where formal jobs are scarce.
Impact
Good work, in both senses.

Actively working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Werkit supports the Sustainable Development Goals. We don't treat that as a report we publish once a year; it's the business model. The more client work we deliver, the more skilled, paid digital work flows to our community. Five goals are where we move the needle most.

SDG 4: Quality Education
Paid, cohort-based training that turns community members into professional builders and data specialists.
SDG 5: Gender Equality
41% of our paid earners who shared their gender are women, and we keep building towards parity.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Skilled digital work with long-term earning relationships: our median earner stays with us over 15 months.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
Global clients, African talent, one delivery standard. The work travels; the opportunity stays local.
Winner, COVID-19 Innovation Award
In 2020 the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona awarded Werkit its special category COVID-19 Innovation Award, for creating safe digital jobs in Africa during a global crisis. When offices closed, our model kept people earning from home. It still does.
What this means for your project
Impact isn't a discount on quality; it's why the quality holds. Builders who are trained, paid reliably and growing a career stay: our median earning relationship runs over 15 months, which means the team that starts your project is still there to maintain it. You get senior-led delivery. The delivery does more than ship your product.
