The Story Behind PataKazi

Built by Sir Newson - Founder of PataKazi, TakNetwork & YXM Digital

Sir Newson - Founder

Sir Newson

Founder & Visionary

As a freelancer with over 10 years of experience in marketing, design, and technology, I've had the privilege of working with big brands and celebrities across Kenya and beyond. But along the way, I witnessed a troubling reality.

Talented designers, writers, programmers, and professionals were struggling to find work. University graduates with degrees were sitting at home, their skills untapped. Meanwhile, businesses desperately needed help but didn't know where to find the right people.

The gap was clear. The unemployment crisis was growing. But I knew the talent was there—it just needed a platform to shine.

That's why I created PataKazi—a space where talented Kenyans can find work and showcase their skills. Along with TakNetwork (AI content & insights) and YXM Digital (AI tools & solutions), we're building Kenya's digital economy, one innovation at a time.

"The future is human. Technology should empower us, not replace us. Let's build Kenya's economy together."

— Sir Newson, Founder

Clients post tasks with budgets, and talented individuals apply directly via WhatsApp. It's a direct, trust-based platform that cuts out the middleman and puts money directly in your pocket.
How can I make money online in Kenya with PataKazi?
Making money online in Kenya with PataKazi is simple: 1) Create a free account (takes 30 seconds), 2) Browse available tasks in your area of expertise (AI, design, writing, coding, etc.), 3) Apply to tasks that match your skills by contacting the client directly via WhatsApp, 4) Complete the work and get paid. You can earn anywhere from KES 500 for small tasks to over KES 100,000 for complex projects. The more tasks you complete successfully, the better your reputation and the more opportunities you'll unlock.
What types of AI jobs and online work are available on PataKazi?
PataKazi features a wide range of online and AI-related opportunities including: AI training and data annotation, ChatGPT prompt engineering, machine learning model testing, AI content creation, web development (React, Vue, WordPress), mobile app development, graphic design (logos, branding, social media), content writing and copywriting, SEO and digital marketing, video editing, 3D modeling, translation services, virtual assistance, and much more. New tasks are posted daily across Kenya, from Nairobi to Mombasa to Kisumu.
How do payments work? Is it safe?
Payments on PataKazi happen directly between you and the client through your preferred method (M-Pesa, bank transfer, cash, etc.). We recommend discussing payment terms upfront and getting clear agreements before starting work. For larger projects, request a deposit or milestone payments. PataKazi doesn't hold or process payments - we simply connect you with opportunities. Always communicate clearly, deliver quality work on time, and build trust with your clients to ensure smooth payment experiences.
Do I need special skills or qualifications to start earning?
No! PataKazi welcomes everyone. While specialized skills like programming, AI expertise, and professional design command higher rates, there are plenty of opportunities for beginners too. Data entry, social media management, simple graphic tasks, delivery services, cleaning, and many other tasks don't require advanced qualifications. Start with what you know, build your reputation, and learn new skills along the way. Many of our top earners started with zero experience and learned on the job.
How much can I realistically earn on PataKazi?
Earnings vary widely based on your skills, experience, and effort. Beginners might earn KES 5,000-15,000 in their first month doing simple tasks. Intermediate freelancers with in-demand skills (writing, design, basic coding) typically earn KES 20,000-50,000 monthly. Experienced professionals in high-demand areas like AI development, advanced programming, or specialized design can earn KES 80,000-200,000+ per month. The key is consistency, quality work, good communication, and building long-term relationships with clients who give you repeat business.
Is PataKazi only for people in Nairobi?
Absolutely not! PataKazi serves all of Kenya. While many online tasks (design, writing, programming, AI work) can be done from anywhere, we also have location-specific tasks in cities like Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Thika, and beyond. If you live in a rural area, you can still access thousands of remote online opportunities. The beauty of the digital economy is that talent from anywhere in Kenya can compete for the same high-paying online jobs.
How do I stand out and get more work?
To succeed on PataKazi: 1) Be Professional - Respond quickly, communicate clearly, and meet deadlines. 2) Show Your Work - When applying, briefly mention relevant experience or share samples. 3) Start Small - Complete smaller tasks successfully to build your reputation. 4) Ask for Referrals - Happy clients will recommend you to others. 5) Keep Learning - Invest time in improving your skills, especially in high-demand areas like AI, no-code tools, and modern design. 6) Be Consistent - Check for new tasks daily and apply actively.
What if there's a dispute with a client?
PataKazi is a connection platform - we don't mediate disputes or hold payments. This is why clear communication upfront is critical. Before starting work, agree on: project scope, deliverables, timeline, payment amount, and payment method. For large projects, negotiate milestone payments. Keep all communication records. If issues arise, try to resolve them professionally and directly with the client. Most disputes happen due to miscommunication, so be crystal clear from the start. Always deliver what you promise.
Can I post tasks if I need work done?
Yes! PataKazi works both ways. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or individual who needs help with a project, you can create a free account and post a task. Describe what you need, set your budget, and include your WhatsApp number. Talented professionals across Kenya will see your task and reach out directly. It's the fastest way to find skilled help for anything from website development and AI solutions to cleaning services and event planning. No agency fees, no complicated processes - just direct connection with talent.
