# ProGigFinder

> ProGigFinder is Africa's leading freelancer marketplace, job platform, and service booking app. We connect job seekers, freelancers, employers, and individual hirers across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Ethiopia. The platform offers full-time jobs, freelance gigs, direct service bookings with mobile money payments, escrow-protected direct hires, real-time chat, AI career tools, and local services. Free to use for job seekers and freelancers.

ProGigFinder serves four user types: job seekers looking for employment, freelancers offering project-based services, verified companies posting jobs and gigs, and individual hirers who can post gigs without verification.
