Our Founder’s Journey:
The Story Behind Nyumbani Markets
My journey to Nyumbani Markets began in 2017, after I unexpectedly lost my banking job. As the sole provider for my young family, I quickly fell into debt and turned to entrepreneurship, launching online businesses that struggled to grow. The problem wasn’t effort or ideas, it was trust.
That changed when I joined a local pop-up market. There, I found a community that shared customers, referrals, and support. My sales took off. That’s when I realized what small businesses need most is not just capital, but a trusted space to connect with real people.
That insight sparked Nyumbani Markets, a community-driven marketplace where local entrepreneurs thrive, visiting brands connect with residents, and 70% of all profits go to a Community Fund to support estate projects chosen by you.
This is more than shopping. It’s about restoring trust, creating opportunity, and building a stronger, self-sustaining community, together. Welcome to Nyumbani Markets.
Ever felt like modern shopping lacks soul?
That's why we made Nyumbani Markets. We missed the real connections between people, like those you feel in a busy market.
Do you remember the friendly handshakes, the stories about each handmade item, and the laughter over local treasures? That's what we're bringing back.
We bring together brands, artisans, and you, our community, in a way that online shopping can't match.
It's about touching, seeing, and experiencing things together. Join us and feel the connection!
