Unlike companies that merely assemble imported components, Mara Phones manufactures devices entirely in Rwanda, from motherboard production to software installation creating a truly “Made in Africa” product. Its best-selling models the Mara X and the Mara Z, offered at affordable prices come with quality long lasting batteries, fingerprint sensors and Cameras all powered by Android OS.

Socio-Economic Impact in Rwanda

The factory has generated hundreds of jobs, prioritizing youth and women, aligning with Rwanda’s Vision 2050 a national strategy aimed at creating a knowledge-based, middle-income economy. By nurturing homegrown technology, Mara Phones is helping close the digital gap and expand technological access for Rwandans.
