How much does it cost to hire a virtual assistant in Africa?+
Full-time virtual assistants from Uganda and Kenya typically cost $400 to $600 per month, paid directly to the assistant. ProGigFinder charges a one-time placement fee of 50% of one month’s pay, only if you hire. That is 40-60% below typical Philippines rates and a fraction of US or UK rates.
Do African virtual assistants speak good English?+
English is the official language of education and business in Uganda and Kenya. We review each candidate’s stated experience and profile, and you assess communication directly during your interview.
What timezone do they work in?+
East Africa Time (UTC+3). That fully overlaps the European workday and covers US East Coast mornings, so you can work with your assistant in real time instead of exchanging overnight messages.
How fast can I hire?+
You submit a request describing the role, hours, and budget. Within one business day we confirm whether it fits our network and tell you the expected shortlist timing. You review profiles and interview before hiring.
What if the assistant does not work out?+
You get a free replacement within 30 days. Tell us what went wrong and we send a new shortlist at no extra cost.
