We connect Kenyans to work they can trust
Plug Yangu exists because finding a good plumber, tutor or house manager still depends on who you happen to know. We are replacing that with verified profiles and live location.
Connecting Kenya,
one service at a time
Skilled people are everywhere in this country. What has been missing is a reliable way for the person who needs work done to find the person who can do it — with proof of who they are and how close they are.
So we built one platform around three things Kenyans already trust: GPS, M-Pesa, and word of mouth turned into public ratings. Every provider is ID-checked before they can take a single job.
Live figures, updated automatically — we don't round them up.
What changes when you use Plug Yangu
The same job, two very different experiences.
The usual way
- Ask around in the WhatsApp group and hope someone replies
- No idea whether the person is who they claim to be
- "I'm nearby" turns out to be two hours away
- Price is invented on the spot, with no record of it
- If the job goes wrong, there is nobody to escalate to
With Plug Yangu
- Search a service and see verified providers ranked by distance
- Every profile is ID-checked and manually approved before going live
- Live GPS, so "nearby" means measured kilometres
- Fees shown up front, paid from an M-Pesa wallet with a receipt
- Ratings, reviews and a dispute process that a real team reads
How a provider earns the verified badge
Nobody appears in search results by simply signing up.
Identity
They submit a government ID and the phone number tied to their M-Pesa account.
Trade proof
Certificates or licences relevant to their category are uploaded for the services they want to offer.
Human review
Our team checks the documents against the profile and rejects anything that does not add up.
Ongoing score
Once live, every completed job and client review feeds a quality score that clients can see.
Our core values
The principles that decide what we build and what we refuse to build.
Trust before growth
We would rather have fewer providers than unverified ones. Verification is manual on purpose.
Real locations only
Distance is calculated from live GPS coordinates, so a provider cannot fake being around the corner.
Money you can trace
Every wallet movement has a reference and a receipt. No unexplained deductions, ever.
Providers are the product
When a provider earns more, we do too. Our fees stay flat rather than taking a cut of their work.
Reviews stay honest
Only clients who actually completed a job can review it, and providers may reply but never delete.
A human answers
Disputes are read by our support team, not resolved by an automated policy page.
