The BBC profiles three African women - a former shop owner, a teacher and a taxi driver - who have boosted their income since they embraced digital platforms. But Ms Tarit, 29, is now among a growing number of African women finding new careers using platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt. "I'm making much more money than the business I had before the pandemic," Ms Tarit told BBC Business Daily. "During Covid a lot of my friends lost their jobs and started using digital platforms to earn money. Now they are selling groceries online and working as delivery drivers," Ms Tarit said.
