Nyumbani Markets is a vibrant, community-focused initiative that brings curated pop-up markets directly into gated communities. We connect residents with trusted local brands and entrepreneurs, offering unique products, services, and experiences, all while generating funds for community development projects.
We're built on impact! 70% of the profits generated from vendor fees are directly channeled back into the host community's dedicated Community Fund. This fund is then used to implement projects chosen by the residents themselves, like new basketball courts, nursery schools, or improved amenities. We're not just a market; we're a catalyst for community growth and connection.
Nyumbani Markets are currently hosted monthly in participating gated communities. Check our website or your estate's community channels for specific dates and times for your area.
Prepare for a lively, family-friendly atmosphere! You'll find a diverse range of high-quality vendors, from fresh produce and delicious food to unique crafts, fashion, and essential services. We also feature live entertainment, including performances by Sol Generation artists, dedicated kids' activity zones, and special appearances by the hosts of the "3 Truths No Lie" podcast at our premium events.
By attending and shopping at Nyumbani Markets, you're supporting local businesses directly. More importantly, the vendor fees paid by these businesses contribute significantly to your estate's Community Fund. Your presence helps us attract more vendors, which in turn means more funds for tangible improvements and projects that enhance your living environment and benefit all residents.
We'd love to expand! If you're an estate resident or part of your estate's management and are interested in hosting Nyumbani Markets, please visit our "Bring Nyumbani Markets to Your Community" section on our website or contact us directly. We'll guide you through the simple process to get started.
We welcome a diverse range of businesses, from established brands to promising MSMEs and small local entrepreneurs.
* Silver & Bronze Package Vendors: These opportunities are exclusively for businesses operating within the gated community where the market is held. We prioritize local talent and entrepreneurship.
* Gold & Diamond Package Vendors: Brands and large sponsors seeking premium visibility (with vending fees of Ksh 17,500 and above) can come from outside the immediate gated community, bringing a broader range of high-quality offerings to our residents.
As a vendor, you gain direct access to a highly engaged and affluent customer base within gated communities. You benefit from our extensive marketing, a vibrant event atmosphere with live entertainment, and the positive association with a community-impact driven initiative. Our unique model fosters trust and loyalty, giving your brand a powerful platform for growth.

"The market wasn’t just about shopping – it was a full-day experience. There was live music, spoken word, and even a mini book swap corner. I connected with someone over a book by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, and we’ve been chatting ever since. Can’t wait for the next one!"
John Kimani
"The way Nyumbani Market brought us together as neighbours is something I’ll never forget. My daughter joined a painting corner while I discovered a local mama who bakes the softest maandazi. From entertainment to real connections, it’s the kind of thing our communities need more of."
"As a vendor, I’ve done many markets, but none like Nyumbani. The team was professional, the foot traffic was real, and for once, I didn’t feel like just a ‘space filler’ – I felt seen. I made record sales, gained new clients, and even joined a chama with other stall owners. This is how you build real support for MSMEs."
Joyce Mwikali, Vendor, Homemade Skincare
"What we’re doing with Nyumbani Markets is deeper than just stalls and sales. We’re rebuilding trust in community. We’re giving small businesses a real shot, reconnecting neighbors, and making marketplaces the heartbeat of local life again. Every market day is proof that cooperative economics works when people come together."
