Advancing Africa's Digital Payments Future
Through Skills, Inclusion & Ecosystem Transformation

Digital payments are powering Africa’s next wave of innovation, entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion. Yet millions remain excluded from the opportunities a digital economy offers.

The Tokata Foundation was created to change this.

Founded by Estevao Tokata, a long-standing leader in the African payments industry and CEO of Transact Connect Training, the Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm dedicated to expanding access, building capability, and strengthening digital payments ecosystems across the continent.

Where Transact Connect Training delivers world-class professional and corporate training, the Tokata Foundation extends that expertise to underserved communities, MSMEs, youth, and ecosystems in need of support. Together, they form a powerful partnership: private-sector excellence + development-driven impact.
