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

Nairobi

You're Worth More Than You're Being Paid

Finding decent work in Nairobi right now shouldn't be this hard. Too many people with real skills—driving through traffic from Westlands to Eastleigh, keeping a garden healthy, or managing the endless laundry cycle—are stuck in jobs that don't pay what their labor is actually worth.

The truth is simple: the skills you already have are valuable. If you can navigate Nairobi's roads, handle yard work, or take care of laundry, you deserve to keep most of what customers pay for that work. Not a fraction. Not after someone else takes their cut. Most of it.

That's how Lumo works. You keep 90% of what the customer pays, you choose your own hours, and you get paid the same day. No waiting. No wondering if this month will be better. Just fair pay for real work.

Three Ways to Earn on Your Schedule

Lumo is recruiting 300 independent contractors across Nairobi right now. Here's the work:

  • Delivery: Move food, groceries, and packages across town by car, bike, or scooter. You choose which deliveries to accept based on distance, timing, and pay. Perfect if you know the city and have reliable transport.
  • Yard work: Mow lawns, rake leaves, trim hedges, and handle garden clean-ups for homeowners and businesses. Ideal if you're comfortable working outdoors and have basic garden tools or are willing to use what clients provide.
  • Laundry pickup: Collect laundry from busy neighbors, wash and fold it properly, then return it on time. Great for detail-oriented people who want flexible indoor work.

You're not locked into one type. Accept the jobs that suit your day.

A Loyalty Bonus That Rewards Consistency

Complete your first 100 jobs and Lumo pays you a 12,985 KES bonus (about $100 USD). That's on top of what you've already earned. It's designed to reward people who show up and do the work well.

Apply on Lumo today. Nairobi needs contractors who are ready when customers post jobs—and you deserve to keep what you earn.
