We're on a mission to make WiFi accessible for everyone
From a single router at the University of Dodoma to a platform serving thousands — we're building the future of automated WiFi management in Tanzania.
Our story
WiFiHapa was born from a simple, frustrating problem. One of our founders was managing a small router at the University of Dodoma, manually adding and removing MAC addresses every two hours. With 120 students waiting to connect, the process was exhausting and error-prone.
"There has to be a better way." That question led to late nights of coding, testing with local router owners, and eventually, the first version of WiFiHapa.
Today, WiFiHapa automates what used to be manual. Router owners set their prices, customers pay for exactly the time they need, and our system handles the rest — VLAN isolation, password rotation, and real-time location detection.
From manual MAC entry to fully automated
— that's the WiFiHapa difference
Our mission
To empower every router owner to become an internet entrepreneur, and every student to have affordable, instant WiFi access.
We believe that internet access should be flexible, fair, and frustration-free. No contracts. No hidden fees. No manual MAC lists.
