Built in Africa: Shaking Sun’s Akaliza Keza Gara on using tech to tell African stories

Built in Africa focuses on entrepreneurs, startups and technologies that are born on the continent and empower its citizens.

In this, the fourth instalment of our “Built in Africa” series, we feature Rwandan entrepreneur Akaliza Keza Gara, who runs a web development agency and is passionate about using technology to tell African stories.

I got introduced to Gara through Microsoft’s 4Afrika youth advisory board, of which she sits.

Gara is the founder of Shaking Sun, a multimedia company that specialises in graphic design, animation and web development.

Her company has worked with a number of government agencies and companies both locally and internationally.
