About Us
Marc and Elisa, the founders of Angazia (formerly Marked Impact) with a team of six local sales agents have successfully completed three small-scale, self-funded pilots across 11 communities in Kenya and Tanzania. Together, Angazia have impacted over 500 households.
"One is allowed to share his/her views. Every person in Angazia is considered to be important"
- Daniel Njenga, Angazia sales agent
Angazia is a mission first, for-profit business because we think this is the best way to deliver the impact we want to see in the world. We believe that having impact is naturally aligned with creating customer value and therefore value for the company, creating a long-term solution, and eliminating the need for donor funding.
We love to talk about what we do...
