Are you fluent in Somali, Amharic, or Swahili? Your language skills could be your ticket to a dollar-based income.
The remote work revolution has finally reached East Africa. International AI companies and content moderation firms are desperately looking for native speakers from the Horn of Africa to train their algorithms and manage online communities.
Unlike traditional NGO jobs, these roles allow you to work from your laptop in Hargeisa, Nairobi, or Addis Ababa. Here are the top 3 platforms recruiting right now:
1. Upwork & Fiverr (Freelancing) While competitive, the demand for "English to Somali" and "English to Amharic" translation has spiked by 40% in the last year.

2. Datacamp & Appen (AI Training) Tech giants need human input to teach AI models African languages.
The Job: You will be asked to record voice commands, correct translated text, or identify objects in images.
