Mlatho

Mlatho — Work, Learn, Earn. Across Africa and Beyond. Mlatho is a dual-purpose professional services platform built in Africa, for Africa, and reaching the world. We connect skilled service professionals with local customers — and we connect trained African professionals with global AI companies who need high-quality remote data work. A marketplace that works both ways. Need a plumber or a data annotator for your AI startup? Mlatho handles it. Customers browse, book, and pay through a single app. Professionals set their rates, manage schedules, and get paid securely — all with protected payments, multi-currency support, and instant WhatsApp notifications at every step. Training built in, not bolted on. Mlatho Learn is our free integrated training platform. Workers complete professional etiquette and skills courses, earn digital certificates, and unlock higher search rankings and better opportunities. Trained professionals earn more. Customers get better service. Everyone wins. What makes us different: Multi-currency payments — ZAR, USD with real-time exchange rates Escrow-protected transactions — customers pay upfront, funds release only after service delivery WhatsApp-first communication — booking updates, payment confirmations, and dispute alerts delivered where Africa already communicates AI data services — connecting African talent with global companies for data annotation, transcription, content moderation, and more Referral rewards — customers and professionals both earn when they grow the network Free professional training — Mlatho Learn courses with certificates that directly boost earning potential Dispute resolution — 24-hour fair resolution window with admin oversight Subscription services — recurring bookings with automated scheduling for ongoing service relationships Mlatho isn't just a booking app. It's a work ecosystem — training people, connecting them to income, and building trust between professionals and the communities they serve.
