    Get directions in any map app. The family sees you coming on their map.

  3. A job in progress, with the timer and the Finish job button

You keep 80%, plus transport and every tip

Jua malipo kabla ya kukubali

  • See the pay first: every job offer shows exactly what you earn before you accept.
  • Transport is yours: your matatu or boda fare is added to the price and paid to you.
  • Tips are 100% yours: families can add a tip when they pay.
  • Busy days pay more: weekends, public holidays and the festive season cost families more, and your 80% grows with it.

Getting paid

M-Pesa jobs

When a family pays by M-Pesa, your share goes straight into your Mfanyikazi wallet.

Withdraw any day

Send your balance to your M-Pesa from KSh 100, whenever you like.

Cash jobs

You keep the cash. Msaidizi's 20% comes off your next M-Pesa earnings. If you owe more than KSh 1,000, pay it by M-Pesa to go online again.

Questions

Why do you need my ID and a selfie?

Families let you into their homes, so we check that every msaidizi is who they say they are. Our team compares your selfie with your ID. We keep the photos, your details and the result for as long as you have a Msaidizi account, seen only by our team, and delete them when you close it. You're told as soon as you're approved. If something needs fixing, the app tells you what.

Do I have to accept every job?

No. Decline it, or let the 30 seconds run out, and the job goes to the next msaidizi. Go offline whenever you want to stop.

Who pays for my transport?

The family. Transport is part of the price they see, and it's added to what you earn: KSh 100 within 3 km, then KSh 25 a km.

When do I get my money?

M-Pesa payments reach your wallet as soon as the family pays. Withdraw to your M-Pesa any time you have KSh 100 or more.

What if the family pays cash?

Collect the full amount in cash and tap Cash received. Msaidizi's 20% share is then taken from your next M-Pesa earnings, or you can pay it by M-Pesa.

Is my location shared all the time?

No. Your location is shared only while you're online, so we can send you nearby jobs and the family can see you coming.
