Here’s your no-nonsense guide to bold, underrated hustles you can run your way 💸🔥. No boring, tried, and widely done hustles—think smart, fresh, and long-term 💡

Let’s flip that 15K into real cash moves! 🚀 📌 Start small, stay sharp, and scale fast.

Unapick dirty clothes from watu kwa estate, unazipeleka kwa laundry ya karibu (ama local person anado hio job), then unadeliver clean clothes. You act as the connector. Clean hustle, no washing involved.

● Put aside 7,500 cash-max for 50kg of clothes to send to your local cleaning site or laundromat. (You’ll recoup that amount plus profit when you pick the clean clothes and deliver them to your clients).

***Or, cheza na washing machine rental, detergent, water, powder, and transport at 5k (If available in your mtaa).

● Backpack ama foldable basket → KSh 1,500

● Business cards + flyers → KSh 2,000

● Transport float → KSh 4,000

● Branded tee/shirt (optional) → KSh 800

KSh 13,000 - 15,800 Max

You charge per kg (e.g., KSh 200/kg of nguo), alafu pay mtu ule atafanya hio job at around KSh 150/kg → unabaki na KSh 50 profit/kg. For example, Halla Express does laundry per kg at 150 bob. Yes, this is a big, well-established business. So, zile za mtaani ni way cheaper.

Tip: Your local laundry place or people will not charge you 200 per KG. Their rates zitakuwa significantly lower. So, cheza fiti and know how to negotiate.

The Math: Let’s play with a higher rate of 200/KG and a place like Halla. Imagine uko na 30 clients per week, each giving you 5kg of clothes to clean. Hio ni 150kgs of clothes at 200 bob per kg = 30k. Then, utalipa your local laundromat or person doing the job 60% (18,000 bob), which means you’re making a clean profit of KSh 12K+ weekly. Hii hustle iko town-ready, especially kwa bedsitters, working youth, na busy professionals.

Unaserve watu wana-own bikes (cyclists, boda riders, delivery guys) by doing basic repairs, inflation, and chain servicing from place to place.

1. Mini repair kit (patches, chain tools, pump) → KSh 10,000

2. Backpack/toolbag → KSh 1,000

3. Branding or biz card → KSh 1,500

KSh 12,500

Bike culture in Nairobi and other towns imekuwa moto. You charge KSh 200–500 per bike service. Uki-target estate riders ama delivery crew, uneza earn 1K–2K daily. Hakuna rent ya shop – you move!

Unafungua hustle ya kukata funguo (after training of course). This hustle works best near estates, apartments, or student hostels. After all, watu hupoteza keys kila saa, especially after an active weekend, ama sio?

• Manual key cutter → KSh 10,000 (buy used)

• Sample blanks → KSh 2,000

• Table setup + umbrella → KSh 3,000

KSh 15,000

One key cut is KSh 150–200. Uki-fix 10 customers kwa siku, that’s KSh 1,500–2,000. Profit margin ni poa, na hakuna stock ya kuharibika. Also, hakuna competition mob kwa hii biz.

20 plastic chairs (used) → KSh 500 each = KSh 10,000 (Utapata second-hand ones at 300- 350 bob ukifanya research poa and do the legwork, so you can buy 30 chairs at 9,000 - 10,500 bob)

Pro Tip: Lazima ujue kujiongea na ku-negotiate vi-smart ili usicheze flat, so you keep that profit at the end of the day 😎💵. Consistency + Drive = Compound Growth. Later, ukicheza kama pro, utaongeza tent, tables, sound system, etc., bila kulazimika partner. Good luck! 🚀
