Coming soon to Kenya

Learn a skill from someone who already makes a living from it.

Short, practical video classes taught by working Kenyan professionals and tradespeople — priced in KES, paid by M-Pesa, built to run on the data bundle you already have.

I want to learn a skill I want to teach & earn

Skills. Paid. Kenyan.

0% of Kenyans already pay for things by M-Pesa — so does Stadi
~0% effective youth underemployment — a real skills-to-jobs gap, not just a learning gap
20–90 minutes per class — built for a lunch break, not a semester

Not a bootcamp. Not YouTube.

Stadi sits in between: structured enough to trust, short enough to actually finish.

Priced for real budgets

Pay per class in KES, straight from M-Pesa. No card, no dollars, no subscription trap.

Respects your data bundle

Low-bitrate video by default, with a running "data used" counter and downloadable lessons.

Taught by Kenyans, for Kenyans

Working professionals and tradespeople — not a translated foreign course.

Built around an outcome

Every class ends with something real: a logo, a spreadsheet, a video — not just a watched percentage.

Illustrative — what we're building toward

The kind of thing we want people to say

Stadi hasn't launched yet, so these aren't real reviews — they're the reactions we're designing the product around, based on the people we've talked to so far.

“I'll pay for a class the same way I pay for anything else — M-Pesa, no fuss. I just don't want to waste data on something that doesn't lead anywhere.”
Amani, 24 · illustrative learner persona
“I already teach this for free on WhatsApp. If I could get paid for it without building my own website, I'd do it properly.”
Wanjiru, 31 · illustrative instructor persona
“Short is the whole point. I've got a lunch break, not a semester.”
David, 27 · illustrative learner persona

Already teaching for free on WhatsApp or TikTok?

Turn what you already know into a real side income — no website to build, no payment system to figure out. Stadi handles enrolment, payment, and payout by M-Pesa. You handle the class.
