The Challenge Many Rwandans Face

🎓

You have potential but lack specific job skills

💸

Training courses cost too much

🔍

Hard to find jobs that match your skills

⏰

Need to earn while you learn

How AGAKILIRO Solves This

01

Learn Skills That Pay

What you get: Short video courses (5-10 min each) in high-demand skills:

  • WhatsApp Business & customer service
  • Social media management
  • Basic graphic design (Canva)
  • Data entry & Excel
  • Content writing

The deal: Courses are free. We give you small rewards (100-500 RWF per lesson, max 10,000 RWF total) to cover data costs while you learn. This is NOT income—it's a learning stipend.

Why free? Businesses sponsor courses because they need skilled workers. When you succeed, everyone wins.
02

Prove Your Skills

What happens: After each course, you take a skills test. Pass it, get a verified badge. This shows businesses you can actually do the work.

No shortcuts: You must demonstrate competence. This protects your reputation and ensures quality in the marketplace.

03

Get Matched With Work

How it works: Businesses post jobs. You apply based on your verified skills. If selected, you complete the work and get paid via Mobile Money.

Your earnings: Based entirely on work you complete. No recruiting. No downlines. Just you, your skills, and your effort.

Entry Level 20,000 - 40,000 RWF/month Part-time gigs, building reputation
Experienced 50,000 - 100,000 RWF/month Regular clients, proven track record
Top Performers 150,000+ RWF/month Full-time, specialized skills

These are realistic ranges based on market research. Your actual income depends on your skills, effort, and jobs available.

How We Make Money (Total Transparency)

You pay: 0 RWF

Platform is free to use. No subscription. No hidden fees.

Businesses pay: 10%

When you complete a job, the business pays us 10% commission. This is standard for marketplaces (Upwork, Fiverr, etc.)

Sponsors pay: Course fees

Companies sponsor courses to build a skilled workforce. Your learning rewards come from them, not from other users joining.

What This Is NOT

❌ NOT a pyramid scheme

You don't recruit others. You don't earn from referrals. Zero multi-level marketing.

❌ NOT get-rich-quick

Building skills takes 2-4 weeks. Building income takes consistent effort.

❌ NOT guaranteed income

We connect you to opportunities. You must apply, compete, and deliver quality work.

❌ NOT passive income

You exchange your time and skills for money. That's called work, and it's honest.

What Success Actually Looks Like

These are realistic scenarios from similar platforms in Kenya and Nigeria. Your results will vary based on your effort and skills.

👩
Marie, 23, Student Kigali · Part-time

"I learned customer service skills while in university. Now I manage WhatsApp support for 2 small businesses, 3 hours daily. I earn 35,000 RWF/month. It covers my transport and lunch."

Week 1-2: Completed courses Week 3: First small gig (5,000 RWF) Month 2: Regular client secured
👨
Patrick, 28, Unemployed Graduate Huye · Full-time

"After completing graphic design courses, I started with logo design gigs. Built a portfolio over 3 months. Now I have 5 regular clients and earn 85,000 RWF/month. Still learning and improving."

Month 1: Learning + small jobs Month 2-3: Building portfolio Month 4+: Steady income
👩
Grace, 32, Mother of 2 Rubavu · Flexible hours

"I needed work I could do from home around my kids' schedule. Social media management was perfect. Started slow, now managing 3 business pages. Earning 45,000 RWF/month working my own hours."

Challenge: Fixed work hours impossible Solution: Flexible freelance work Result: Income + family time

⚠️ Reality Check

Not everyone succeeds immediately. Some people:

  • Take 2-3 months to land first good client
  • Earn only 10,000-15,000 RWF in first month
  • Need to improve skills before getting better jobs
  • Face competition from other skilled workers

Success requires: Completing training seriously, applying to multiple jobs, delivering quality work, being patient, continuously improving.

Honest Answers to Your Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. Zero cost to you. We make money when businesses hire you (they pay us 10%). You never pay to use the platform, take courses, or apply for jobs.

What are "learning rewards"?

Small payments (100-500 RWF per completed lesson) to offset your data costs while learning. Think of it like a scholarship or stipend. Maximum you can earn: 10,000 RWF during the entire learning phase. This is NOT meant to be income—it's meant to remove financial barriers to learning.

Can I really earn 100,000 RWF/month?

Some people do, but it's not typical in the first few months. That level requires: advanced skills, consistent quality work, good client relationships, and often full-time commitment (40+ hours/week). Most people start at 20,000-40,000 RWF/month part-time.

Do I need a computer?

No. Most courses and jobs can be done on a smartphone. Some advanced work (graphic design, coding) works better with a computer, but many people start with just a phone.

How is this different from a pyramid scheme?

In a pyramid, you make money by recruiting others. Here, you make money by doing actual work for businesses. Your income comes from services you provide, not from people below you. There are no "levels" or "downlines." It's a job marketplace, not MLM.

What if I don't get any jobs?

We can't guarantee jobs. The marketplace is competitive. To improve your chances: complete multiple courses, pass all tests, create a strong profile, apply actively, start with smaller gigs to build reputation, deliver excellent work to get good reviews. Some people get their first job within days. Others take weeks or months.

Who sponsors the learning rewards?

Businesses that need skilled workers (like MTN, local companies, NGOs) and advertisers. They fund the platform because when you gain skills, you become a potential employee or service provider. Their sponsorship covers your learning stipend.

Can I trust AGAKILIRO?

AGAKILIRO is built by Teradig, an established Rwanda tech company. We're transparent about how we work, how we make money, and what you can realistically expect. If we're not honest, we fail. Your success is our success. Check our terms of service and contact us with any concerns.
