OPWAK Association
A group of online workers in Kenya came together and realized that even though Kenya is full of talented individuals, especially the youth, opportunities were not enough to create and maintain a thriving online workers’ community that would see individuals lift themselves out of low-income households to either middle income or high-income households.
The organization is the first of its kind in Kenya, and as the online freelancing industry grows, OPWAK will continue being at the forefront to provide a network for mutual support and advancement in the industry.
