SMS STOP to 811Built to lift local talent & business
We're not just a pipe to the telco. We use that reach to put local businesses and Kenyan artists in front of millions.
Local SMEs
Our sister venture, Libro Coffee, sources directly from Kenyan smallholder farmers — paying fair prices, skipping middlemen, and reinvesting telco revenue into the farms that feed the world's best cup. When you set a Skiza tune, part of that revenue flows back to local growers.
Libro Coffee ↗Local & upcoming artists
We give Kenyan and upcoming artists a stage — getting their music onto Skiza, in front of millions of callers, and putting fair revenue back in their hands for every tune set. Real exposure for the next generation of talent.
One connection to the telco. Everything else, handled.
Content owners and service providers who want a direct connection to Safaricom come through us. We hold the integration and the relationship — you plug into a single, compliant pipe and reach millions of subscribers without building telco infrastructure yourself.

What our partners say
Content providers, artists and local businesses growing on Safaricom with Libro.
Going live on Safaricom used to take us months. With Libro we were billing subscribers in under a day — and the reporting is finally something we can trust.
My song is a Skiza tune reaching thousands of callers now. For the first time I can see exactly what I've earned — paid out fairly, every month.
One SMS campaign reached more customers than months of flyers ever did. Affordable, simple, and Libro handled the whole thing for us.
