MAARIBA is an innovative platform established to enable and unlock job opportunities for artisans, craftsmen and women in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Even with a high demand for vocational skills, Artisans and Craftsmen (masons, carpenters, mechanics, electricians, painters, plumbers, welders, tailors, caterers, beauticians, foremen, quantity surveyors, builder contractors, photographers, designers, engineers etc) in sub-Saharan Africa are still struggling to find jobs. This mismatch is associated with general mistrust of the quality of skills of Artisans and Craftsmen on the continent. While these concerns are genuine, there are many talented artisans on the continent who, with the right support and exposure, will development into the next generation of highly skilled engineers.
