Why SokoMandi
Trust, built into every step of the trade.
Verified in person
Every seller is checked by a Trade Champion who visits the mill or factory, sees the machines and meets the owner.
Escrowed until it arrives
The buyer's money sits in escrow. It moves to the seller only after the buyer opens the crate and confirms the goods match.
Shipped and tracked
Freight is quoted up front, cargo is inspected before loading, and every port milestone shows up in the deal room.
Paid on local rails
Pay and get paid over Raast, PAPSS, M-Pesa or wire — in the currency you think in.
