Its time to declare allegiance to the 54 Nations of Africa and provide our knowledge and 1.1 Trillion Dollars in Buying Power back home.

Makola.com seeks to be your one-stop shopping destination for African products. It was born out of the desire to serve the African community in the diaspora who sometimes find it very hard to find products they are used to. The name, Makola, is from a popular market in Accra, Ghana, where all kinds of goods and products are traded.
Our goal is to make all your favorite African brands just a click away in the most cost-effective, efficient and customer centric manner. Our tagline is “Your one-stop shopping destination for African products”.
Makola Market
Makola Market is a renowned market place and shopping district in the centre of the city of Accra, the capital of Ghana.
The market, dominated by women traders, sells fresh produce, manufactured and imported foods, clothes, shoes, tools, medicines, and pots and pans. [1]
Makola Market is currently under the observation of Transaid[2] which is developing a project Transport and Trade for Market Women[3] which is designed to improve the livelihoods and security of female market traders through the development of Women’s Transports Co-operatives in Accra.
Presently most women use “tro tros”, passenger mini-buses or taxis to fetch their goods to market. The co-operatives aim to reduce transport costs, bringing economic benefit, and providing a fast, reliable and secure means of transporting their goods for the female traders at Makola.
There are individual Makola Markets in various parts of Ghana and the United States.
