About Pawania
Pawania is a multi-surface creator economy platform designed for Africa and global markets. We give creators the tools to monetise their content, fans the ability to support the people they love, and brands a way to reach engaged audiences.
Our Mission
To build the most accessible creator economy infrastructure in the world — starting with Africa. We believe every voice deserves to be heard and every creator deserves fair compensation, regardless of where they live or what currency they use.
What We Stand For
Africa-First
Every design decision starts with the African creator. M-Pesa and mobile money are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts. Data-lite mode and offline support for 2G/3G connections.
Creator Ownership
Creators set their own prices, choose their currencies, and own their audience relationships. No algorithmic gatekeeping of subscriber content.
Fair Economics
Platform fees start at 12% and decrease as creators grow. No hidden charges, no surprise deductions. Every fee is transparent and admin-configurable.
Multi-Currency Native
Fans pay in their local currency. Creators withdraw in theirs. FX conversion is automatic with rates locked at transaction time.
Privacy & Security
End-to-end encrypted DMs via Signal Protocol. JWT RS256 authentication. All uploads virus-scanned. OWASP top 10 protection built in.
Open to All Content
Voice, video, text, images, courses, films, events, merchandise, live streams, podcasts. One platform for every format a creator needs.
