Our story

Why we built Jengo

We built Jengo because the rent-collection software we used was either imported from the US (and didn't know what M-Pesa was), or it was built for spreadsheets-on-WhatsApp landlords who never wanted to upgrade. We wanted a third option: a real product, with M-Pesa as a first-class citizen, that doesn't pretend Kenya is just another country on a map.

What we believe

Our values

Local-first

Built in Nairobi by people who manage Kenyan property themselves.

Mobile-first

Tenants pay on their phone. Managers run things on theirs. Owners watch from anywhere.

Transparent pricing

No setup fees. No per-tenant charges. No surprise upsells.

Always-on support

WhatsApp during business hours, email after — never an offshore call centre.

Customer voice

What landlords say

Before Jengo I was chasing rent via WhatsApp and writing receipts by hand. Now M-Pesa payments reconcile automatically and I spend half the time on admin.

The tenant portal is excellent. My tenants can see their invoices, payment history, and maintenance requests without calling me. Highly recommend.
