Campus Pesa was born on a university campus in Nairobi, out of a simple frustration: too much talent, too little income. We set out to change that — one gig at a time.
Year we launched from a UoN hostel room
We believe every Kenyan student carries world-class potential. Campus Pesa exists to unlock it — providing real, flexible earning opportunities that work around lectures, CATs, and campus life.
No bank account, no bureaucracy. Just a student email and a Safaricom number.
Gigs that fit between 8 AM lectures and evening preps.
Every gig is a portfolio piece. Graduate with proof of work.
Every policy, payout rule, and product decision runs through one filter: does it make a student’s life better?
No hidden fees. No confusing structures. You see exactly what you earn and when it hits your M-Pesa.
We vet every client and every task. Quality work builds reputation that outlasts campus.
Students who refer, collaborate, and mentor each other earn more. We reward the ecosystem.
We understand M-Pesa, NHIF, semester breaks, and CAT week. Built in the language you speak.
A KSh 500 errand today should become a KSh 5,000 brief tomorrow. We push you forward.

“I watched too many brilliant comrades graduate broke because no one showed them how to monetise what they already knew. Campus Pesa is the platform I wish existed when I was in first year.”
