One-off gigs in Mombasa
From Nyali to Likoni, find a short gig or someone available to help, on the island or on the mainland.
MIPOconnect is a young platform: gigs in Mombasa arrive as clients post them. Create your profile to receive the ones that match you, or post the first one.
Living and working in Mombasa
Kenya’s main port city sits partly on an island, linked to the mainland by bridges, a causeway and the Likoni ferry. The Old Town and Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage site, draw visitors, while Nyali, Bamburi and Kisauni stretch along the north coast.
Because crossing the water takes time, always state the area in a post: a talent in Likoni or Changamwe can then tell straight away whether the trip is worth it.

Areas in Mombasa
Old Town, Nyali, Bamburi, Kisauni, Likoni, Changamwe, Tudor, Shanzu… This list is not complete: you can post a gig or offer your services in every part of the city and nearby.
How it works
- The client describes the need: the work, the place in Mombasa, the date and the budget.
- Interested talents apply, and both sides can talk through the site’s messaging.
- The client chooses: they then receive the talent’s phone number.
- The gig is done and paid directly, and the client can leave a review.
Payment
In Kenya, the talent and the client agree on the price between themselves and are usually paid in cash or by mobile money (M-Pesa, Airtel Money…). The money for gigs never goes through MIPOconnect, which takes no commission. Posting a gig is free; talents can send 5 applications a month without a subscription.
Frequently asked questions in Mombasa
How do I find work for a few days in Mombasa?
Sign up for free, choose Mombasa and add your trades, then apply to the gigs that suit you, up to 5 a month without a subscription. Gigs depend on what clients post: there may not be new ones every day.
Where can I find someone to help at home in Mombasa?
Post your gig with the area, the date and your budget. Interested talents apply, you read their profile, then you choose. You receive the talent’s phone number once you accept their application.
Should travel costs be agreed for a gig in Mombasa?
That is for the two of you to decide. Talk about it before accepting, especially if the gig means taking the ferry or crossing to the island: it avoids a misunderstanding when the gig is paid.
