MKU Student Side Hustles That Pay via M-Pesa

1. Built for the Mount Kenya University Timetable

MKU's wide network of campuses across the country means students juggle very different local economies — from Thika's Main Campus to regional centres elsewhere. Campus Pesa's online gig categories work the same wherever you're based, since the work and the payout both happen entirely online.

Business, education, health sciences, and IT students at MKU all draw on different strengths — and every one of those skills maps onto a gig category on the platform.
