About Sokofa

We are a UK-based online marketplace that connects African creators with customers around the world. From handmade fashion and dry food staples to unique art pieces and natural beauty products, our platform brings the richness of Africa directly to your doorstep.

Our Purpose

At the heart of SOKOFA is a clear purpose. African businesses deserve fair opportunities to grow, and people everywhere should have easy access to authentic African goods.

We are proud to be registered in the UK as SOKOFA LTD, founded by African entrepreneurs who understand both the local challenges and the global potential. Our goal is to create a trusted space where culture, business and community come together.

Our Mission

For too long, many African producers have struggled to compete internationally. Because large platforms often create barriers that make it difficult for African sellers to participate. On top of that, traditional supply chains add extra costs that affect both the seller and the buyer.

To change that, we built Sokofa.

Here, we connect buyers directly with sellers. There are no middlemen and no hidden costs. This means sellers keep more of their earnings, and buyers pay less. In many cases, our prices are lower than what you would find in shops.

What Makes Us Special

Sokofa is an online marketplace where artisans, designers, and small businesses across Africa can sell their products. From handcrafted fashion and unique beauty products to soulful art pieces, Sokofa is designed to tell stories — stories of heritage, hard work, and hope.

What makes us truly special is that it's about so much more than commerce. It's about connection. It's about giving African creators a fair platform to thrive on their own terms, supported with training, marketing, and ethical trade standards. This is also about giving buyers everywhere the chance to experience the best of Africa right from their homes.

Join Our Journey

We stand on the belief that business can be meaningful. That buying should be about people as much as products. And that culture, when shared with respect and authenticity, can build bridges across oceans.

This is just the beginning of the Sokofa story. It's a journey guided by purpose and the shared vision of two founders who believe Africa's brilliance deserves a bigger stage. We're excited to invite you along — whether as a buyer, a seller, or simply someone who loves seeing what happens when heritage meets opportunity.
