Need something done in Kenya while you are thousands of miles away?
Tell us what you need. We go there in person. We get it done. You get photos, videos and receipts at every step.
Sending money home is easy. Getting things done is not.
You asked a cousin to check on the house. The photos never came. You found a supplier online. You cannot tell if they are real. You need a document from a Nairobi office. The office says come in person.
That is where we come in. We are your eyes, your feet and your voice in Kenya. We show up. We report back. We do not disappear.
What you get every time
- A clear quote before any work starts
- One person who owns your task from start to finish

- Updates on WhatsApp in your time zone
- No surprises on cost

Client from Ethiopia · verified Fiverr review
One of 452 five star reviews across 870+ projects.
Hi, I am Patrick Maina.
I run Growth Catalyst. Over eight years I have delivered more than 870 projects for clients in over 56 countries. They left 452 five star reviews.
After that much screen work, I wanted a reason to get out and help people in real time. So I built OnGround Africa on the network I have grown across Kenya.
