Empowering local communities through trusted commerce
In Kenya, the best deals happen between neighbours. A mama selling chapati, a student offloading a laptop, a mechanic looking for parts — these transactions happen every day, but finding each other isn't always easy.
JiraniSoko brings the neighbourhood market online. Inspired by Korea's Karrot (당근마켓), we believe that hyperlocal, trust-based marketplaces create stronger communities and safer transactions.
No middlemen. No hidden fees. Just neighbours helping neighbours.
"Jirani" means neighbour in Swahili. "Soko" means market. Together, JiraniSoko is your neighbourhood market — a place where trust starts at your doorstep.
Simple. Local. Safe.

What we stand for
Safety First
Every feature is designed with safety in mind — from anonymous usernames to fraud warnings in every chat. We never expose your personal contact details.
Hyperlocal
See what's available in your neighbourhood first. Everything is organised by county and neighbourhood so you deal with people nearby — not across the country.
Community
More than a marketplace — we're building connected neighbourhoods. When you buy from a neighbour, you strengthen your community and keep money local.
Simplicity
No complicated steps. List in under 2 minutes, browse with intuitive filters, and chat instantly. We keep things simple because buying and selling should be easy.
Privacy
Only your username is visible. Phone numbers, emails, and personal data are never shown publicly. Even job applications use anonymised profiles to protect applicants.
Sustainability
Every second-hand item sold is one less in the landfill. By giving things a second life, we reduce waste and make quality goods affordable for everyone.
