About us
Skilled hands, one call away
Jua Kali Online is a directory of independent Kenyan tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, mechanics, tailors, cleaners and more. Every listing is registered in person by a local agent, and providers who pass a National ID check carry the ID Verified badge. You contact the provider directly; we never sit between you and the person doing the work.
For customers
Search by service and county, compare what each provider offers, then call, WhatsApp or message them. Using the directory is free and there is no booking fee.
Find a ProviderFor providers
Get found by customers in your area. A local agent registers you, uploads your ID for verification and lists your services. A small subscription keeps your profile live.
Become a ProviderWhat "ID Verified" means
When a provider joins, their agent records their Kenyan National ID number. We check that number against the government population register (IPRS) and confirm the name on record matches the name on the profile. Providers who pass get the ID Verified badge.
It is not a skills test, a background check, or a guarantee of work quality. It tells you the person is who they say they are, which makes them accountable if something goes wrong.
Providers marked "Not yet verified" are listed by an agent but have not completed the ID check. Ask to see their ID before work starts, agree the price in writing (a WhatsApp message is fine), and pay on completion.
