When you walk into Bunju, a lively neighborhood nearly 34 kilometers from the city center of Dar es Salaam, you might pass by a modest shop that carries a story bigger than its four walls. Behind the counter stands Happiness Raymond Mzirai, a young woman whose journey with Easybuy is as much about her growth as it is about the lives she touches daily.
For the past two and a half years, Happiness has worked as an Easybuy sales agent. Fresh out of university, she was eager to gain work experience, and the strong reputation of the Easybuy brand in Tanzania drew her in.
“I wanted to learn, grow, and be part of a company that people already trusted,” she recalls.
Her role might seem simple on the surface: welcoming customers, explaining smartphone loans, and onboarding those in need of devices. But in reality, Happiness is doing something much deeper: she is opening digital doors for Tanzanians who might otherwise remain disconnected.
The Everyday Impact of Affordable Technology
Most of the customers Happiness serves are from Tanzania’s growing middle-income community. Many aspire to own smartphones but are held back by high upfront costs. That’s where Easybuy steps in. With just a 30% down payment, customers can walk away with a smartphone, paying off the balance in manageable installments over three to six months.
“It’s not just about selling phones,” Happiness explains. “It’s about giving people access to the internet, to opportunities, to staying connected with loved ones.”
A Life Changed with One Phone
One of her most memorable experiences was with a customer who, at first, could hardly believe that getting a phone on loan was possible. That single purchase became more than just a gadget it was a gateway to a better life.
The customer later qualified for a money loan, something that would have been unimaginable without Easybuy’s initial support.
“She was so pleased,” Happiness says with a smile. “It wasn’t just about buying a phone. It was about her life taking a new course.”
Connecting Communities Across Tanzania
For Happiness, the significance of Easybuy goes beyond individual customers. It’s about what smartphones represent in today’s world: knowledge, opportunity, and equality.
“Easybuy is helping to bridge the digital divide in Tanzania,” she reflects. “By making smartphones affordable, we’re bringing more people into the digital space. Communities can now access information, education, business opportunities, and even financial services. That changes lives.”
Indeed, in neighborhoods like Bunju and beyond, Easybuy is more than a brand; it’s a lifeline ensuring that no one is left behind in the fast-moving digital age.
How Easybuy Has Impacted Happiness’s Life
While she spends her days empowering customers, Happiness says her own life has been transformed through Easybuy. The role has allowed her to:
·Gain valuable career experience in sales, finance, and customer service, building a foundation for future leadership roles.
·Achieve financial independence by earning a stable income and contributing to her family’s needs.
·Grow in confidence and resilience, learning to work with customers from diverse backgrounds and handle financial products responsibly.
·Feel a sense of purpose, knowing that her work directly impacts the lives of Tanzanians in meaningful ways.
“Easybuy has been more than a workplace for me it’s a school, a stepping stone, and a family,” she says. “I’ve grown so much here, and I’m proud of the person I’ve become.”
