Marketing and Communications Lead

For many people around the world, this is what an address sounds like:

Behind the petrol station, take the street that leads to where the church once stood. Our house is on the right, after the third mango tree. The door is grey.”


Our mission

Addressya is a digital addressing platform that was created in response to the fact that 4 billion people, businesses and governments worldwide suffer from the lack of addresses. Our mission is to improve access to opportunities, inclusion, partnerships, and trade through good quality addressing. We are a female-founded Swedish tech company with local offices in Uganda, Rwanda and South Africa.
