Kasha will disrupt the way that people in emerging markets get the health products they need by turning global health supply chains upside down. We are on our way to becoming Africa’s leading platform for last-mile access to health products and services used by enterprises, consumers, resellers, and health facilities. Kasha focuses on the lower-income mass market population, selling health and household goods and delivering those products to the last mile through our Kasha Agents and logistics networks. Customers can order using an omnichannel mobile platform that is built to be highly accessible around the country, reaching even typically offline customers via our digital channels. Kasha also works with manufacturers and global health organizations, operating as a service channel for visibility on distribution, performance data, consumer insights, and last-mile access. Kasha was founded in July 2016 in Rwanda, and operates in East, South, Central, and West Africa. You can learn more about us at Kasha Global Inc.
