Nairobi: Keep 90% of What You Earn—Your Skills Are Worth More

Nairobi

You're Already Qualified—And Worth More

Finding fair-paying work in Nairobi shouldn't be this hard. If you know how to navigate the city, detail a car until it shines, or leave a home spotless, you have skills that people need every single day. The problem isn't your ability—it's that too many jobs underpay for what you can actually do.

Lumo is a marketplace where you finally keep what you earn: 90% of every job goes directly to you. No one else takes the lion's share of your labor. You set your own hours, choose which jobs to accept, and get paid the same day. Whether you're in Westlands, Eastleigh, Kilimani, or anywhere else in Nairobi, you control your schedule and your income.

Three Ways to Earn on Your Terms

Lumo is looking for 300 independent contractors across Nairobi. Here's the work:

  • Delivery: Move food, groceries, and packages across town by car, bike, or scooter. You decide which deliveries to take and when to work—morning, evening, or anywhere in between.
  • Mobile car detailing: Wash and detail vehicles right in the customer's driveway. No shop needed. Bring your skills and tools, pick your clients, and earn on your schedule.
  • Home cleaning: Handle apartments, houses, and move-out cleans. Flexible hours, and you choose the jobs that work for you.

Every job type lets you accept or decline work as it suits you. You're in control.

A Loyalty Bonus That Rewards Real Work

Complete your first 100 jobs and Lumo adds a 12,979 KES loyalty bonus (about $100 USD) on top of what you've already earned. It's recognition for the consistency and quality you bring.

You're not looking for a favor—you're looking for fair pay for real work. Lumo is built to finally make that happen.
