About TWIG FOUNDRY
Building Innovation Around Problems That Matter
TWIG FOUNDRY is a technology company committed to developing digital products that address social and development challenges. We believe technology can play a stronger role in improving access, expanding opportunity, supporting inclusion, and strengthening communities.
Our story
Why TWIG FOUNDRY Was Created
TWIG FOUNDRY was established from a simple belief: technology should serve a clear purpose.
Across different communities, many people still face barriers that limit their access to education, information, services, and opportunities. Some of these challenges are deeply rooted and cannot be solved by technology alone. However, carefully designed digital products can help improve access, extend reach, and make existing systems more inclusive.
TWIG FOUNDRY exists to explore these possibilities.
We identify meaningful challenges and develop technology products that respond to them in practical ways. Each product begins with a clear need and a commitment to creating value for the people it is intended to serve.
Our first product, eDeafy, reflects this direction by addressing gaps in accessible digital learning for deaf and hard-of-hearing adults.
It is the first step in a broader vision to build technology that contributes to positive social change.
Mission
To develop purposeful technology products that expand access, create opportunities, and address meaningful social and development challenges.
Vision
To become a leading African innovation company recognised for building technology that improves lives, supports inclusion, and contributes to sustainable development.
What we believe
Principles that shape our work
Technology Must Be Useful
Innovation should not be measured only by how advanced a product appears. It should also be measured by the problem it addresses and the value it creates.
People Should Shape the Product
The people affected by a challenge understand important parts of it. Their voices should help guide the development of solutions intended for them.
Inclusion Should Begin Early
Accessibility and inclusion should be considered from the beginning, not added after the product has already been built.
Impact Requires Sustainability
A product cannot create lasting value if it cannot be maintained, improved, and supported over time.
Progress Comes Through Learning
Strong products develop through research, testing, feedback, adjustment, and continued learning.
