About us
We are a subsidiary of Africa Check, the continent’s first independent non-profit fact-checking organisation established in South Africa in 2012 with offices in Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal.
Africa Check has gathered valuable experience how to fact-check and reach people with accurate and reliable information across the continent. As the team was working towards its vision, they built expertise, not only in fact-checking but other closely related fields, such as training facilitation, research, and communication strategy. We are looking forward to sharing this expertise and experience with you.
It is not only our professional approach, our thoughtful collaboration with clients or our high quality service - clients are attracted to TRi Facts (Pty) Ltd because we remain a purpose-driven organisation. Our profit is entirely used to support the work of fact-checkers across the continent and essentially to strengthen democracies. We are excited to be working with you as part of our journey.
Harambee, Youth Employment Accelerator
“TRi Facts, and by extension Africa Check, were able to help us develop this competency by being responsive partners who were willing to adapt their offering to our organisational needs. They understood that the challenge we faced was in finding, verifying and disseminating accurate information to our network of over 700 000 young people.”

"I will use the skills and knowledge in my advocacy work. I will be able to check the facts of the claims from either rights holders or duty bearers on each other."
