Why this works in Mombasa

Demand in Mombasa is strong, and the work is a fair share of repeat work. Setting up is a bit of work, and you could be paid for your first job within a few weeks.

Where the first customers come from

  1. Sheltered housing and care home contacts
  2. Clinic and library noticeboards
  3. Council programmes
  4. WhatsApp Business
  5. Local Facebook groups
  6. Jiji Kenya

Before you take on work

  • Public liability insurance
  • DBS check expected by most parents
  • A qualification covering exercise for older adults, which insurers require
  • Pre-exercise screening and GP clearance where there is a known condition
  • First aid cover at every session

Rules vary by council and by country. Check what applies where you are.
