Our Story
How Tambala Market came to life
The Beginning
Tambala Market was born from a simple observation: Malawi is full of talented entrepreneurs, skilled artisans, and innovative businesses, but many struggled to reach customers beyond their immediate communities. Traditional commerce barriers—distance, limited marketing reach, and payment challenges—were holding back incredible potential.
We saw an opportunity to bridge this gap using technology, creating a platform where a weaver in Zomba could sell to a customer in Mzuzu, where a tech entrepreneur in Lilongwe could serve clients nationwide, and where every Malawian could access the best products and services our country has to offer.
Building for Malawi
From day one, we've designed Tambala Market specifically for the Malawian context. We understand the importance of mobile money, the challenges of connectivity in rural areas, and the need for trust and security in online transactions.
Our platform supports Airtel Money and TNM Mpamba, works efficiently on slower internet connections, and provides comprehensive seller verification to build trust between buyers and sellers. Every feature we build considers the unique needs and realities of doing business in Malawi.
Growing Together
Today, Tambala Market is more than just a marketplace—we're a community of entrepreneurs, shoppers, and dreamers working together to build a stronger economic future for Malawi. Every transaction on our platform supports local businesses, creates jobs, and contributes to our nation's growth.
