WHERE TO FIND WORK IN KAGIO

If you’re looking for work in Kagio, the town offers several informal job opportunities that remain active throughout the year. While formal employment may be scarce, locals are turning to hustle-based roles that pay daily or weekly and require little to no formal training.

Here are some of the common jobs available around Kagio:

1. CONSTRUCTION WORK (MJEI)

Construction sites around Kagio regularly need casual labourers. Both men and women can get hired for a day’s work carrying materials, mixing cement, or assisting fundis. Payments range from KSh 400 to KSh 700 per day. To find such jobs, walk near ongoing building projects early in the morning or speak with site supervisors.

2. MAMA FUA (LAUNDRY SERVICES)

Many women earn income by offering laundry services door to door or within estates. Areas with rental housing offer the best chances, especially after weekends or rainy days. One wash can earn between KSh 200 and KSh 500 depending on the load.

4. STREET VENDING (BOILED EGGS & SAUSAGES)

Selling eggs, smokies and samosas remains a common way for youth to earn. With small capital and a good location (e.g. near the market or stage), vendors can make Ksh 300–500 per day in profit.

5. HAWKING SNACKS & DRINKS

Some locals earn daily income by selling groundnuts, sweets, biscuits, or cold drinks around Kagio stage, schools or roadside stops. While informal, this hustle supports many youths and women with profits ranging from KSh 200–400 per day depending on demand and weather.
