How it works

Kazi is the work. Fundi is the person who does it properly.

We're not live yet — this is exactly what we're building, so you know what you're joining.

For customers

If you need work done

Four steps, and none of them need you to type a long description.

  1. STEP 01

    Tell us what needs doing

    A voice note, a photo and a landmark is a complete job post. Posting is free, and so is reading the quotes that come back.

  2. STEP 02

    Compare quotes, or book a published rate

    Nearby verified fundis send up to five fixed prices. For everyday work like cleaning or laundry you can simply book someone's published hourly or day rate.

  3. STEP 03

    Agree a price

    Pick the fundi you trust. The moment a job is booked, you and the fundi can see each other's phone numbers and arrange the day.

  4. STEP 04

    Pay through Kazi Fundi

    The fundi's price is paid by Mobile Money into Kazi Fundi and held until you confirm the work is finished. A flat UGX 10,000 service fee is added at that point — nothing before.

Every job on Kazi Fundi keeps a written record: the price agreed, the timeline and the scope.

For professionals

If you are a fundi

Set your own price — an hourly rate, a day rate or a fixed quote. We take commission only when a job is done.

  1. STEP 01

    Get verified

    Confirm your phone and national ID, show examples of your work, and for the top badge add a recommendation letter from your LC1 chairperson. Verification is free for the first 100 fundis.

  2. STEP 02

    See jobs near you

    Jobs within your travel radius, with the budget and the area shown up front. Quote a fixed price, or publish your hourly or day rate so customers can book you straight away.

  3. STEP 03

    Do the work, on record

    The customer's payment sits with Kazi Fundi before you travel, so you know the job is real and the money is there.

  4. STEP 04

    Get paid through the platform

    Once the customer confirms the work is done, your money is released to your Mobile Money within a couple of working days, less commission — 8% standard, 5% on Plus, 3% on Pro.
