The challenge
In the fertile grounds of educational opportunity and financial literacy, the seeds of empowerment find their nurture. Our collaboration with WaFunda was a voyage into the soil of South African education, fostering the growth of a digital platform that aims to quench the thirst for knowledge and economic independence among the youth.
WaFunda is not merely a platform; it's a sanctuary where the aspirations of young minds are tended with the water of educational resources and the sunshine of financial literacy. Our goal was to weave a digital space where every young sapling could find the nourishment of knowledge and the support of a community, aiding them to burgeon into the colossal trees of change.
Our narrative commenced with a close look at the essence of WaFunda: a for-profit social impact enterprise with a vision to enable and deliver education, training, and learning resources to the youth. It was about crafting a digital narrative that resonated with the ethos of empowerment and education.
The core of WaFunda resides in its four focus areas: educating the youth, nurturing their well-being, enabling them to earn a decent income, and helping them become contributing members of society. Our journey was about encapsulating these core areas into a digital narrative that is both engaging and enlightening.
Our approach
One of the flagships of WaFunda is its Blackbullion platform, an award-winning financial literacy platform tailored for South African students. Our task was to create a digital window into this world of financial literacy, making it accessible and engaging for the learners.
The innovative Income Share Agreements (ISAs) and the Feenix education crowdfunding platform were other jewels in the crown of WaFunda, providing alternative financing solutions for education. Our narrative was to weave these facets into the digital narrative, making them easily accessible and understandable for the users.
The 'How We Work' section was a glimpse into the collaborative ethos of WaFunda, illustrating how collaboration, sustainability, and impact are the driving forces behind its mission. It was about crafting a narrative that showcased how WaFunda marries expertise, technology, and evidence to foster smart educational solutions.
What we built
Harnessing the capabilities of Webflow, we wove a digital narrative that was as engaging as it was informative. The user interface was tailored to ensure a smooth journey through the various facets of WaFunda, providing a comprehensive understanding of its mission and offerings.
Looking back
Our venture with WaFunda was more than a project; it was about nurturing the seeds of education and economic independence, crafting a digital sanctuary where the youth could find the resources and support to grow and thrive in the modern world.

We also wrote up how we set up free behavioural analytics with Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity, and you can see what we do for clients on the home page.
