We help Tanzanian businesses get found and get online.
Fyatua is a Tanzanian digital studio. We maintain the country's most complete business directory (18,000+ listings across 12 cities) and we build the websites, WhatsApp bots, and online ordering systems that bring those businesses online.
Why we started
Tanzania has over a million small and medium businesses. The vast majority are invisible online. A customer in Mwanza searches Google for "best restaurant" and finds either nothing useful, or pages from foreign sites that have never set foot in the country.
That gap costs Tanzanian businesses customers every single day. It also keeps the local economy small. A salon owner in Arusha who doesn't exist on Google is invisible to the tourists and locals who would have spent money there.
Foreign agencies charge 3,000-8,000 USD for a basic website. That price was set in San Francisco. It was never going to work for a Tanzanian SME making 5,000,000 TZS a month in revenue. So we built Fyatua: a directory that makes local businesses findable, and a studio that builds them a real online presence at a price the local market can afford.

“Fyatua built our restaurant website in 6 days. We started getting WhatsApp orders the same week. Real people, real support, fair price.”
“We tried two foreign agencies before. Both wanted 5,000 USD for a 'standard' site. Fyatua did better work for 1.2M TZS and replied to messages on the same day.”
“Our salon now takes bookings on WhatsApp without anyone touching a phone. It's just one button on our Fyatua page. Customers love it.”
