A good Nairobi salary still runs out.

Earning in the city often means a payslip that is spoken for before it lands. Fnsoko trainings start from that reality, with Nairobi examples and Kenyan products, from SACCOs and money market funds to Treasury bills and M-Akiba.

  • Rent that takes the biggest bite of the payslip
  • Matatu fares, fuel and parking that add up by the week
  • Family support back home, every month
  • School fees at the start of every term
  • A steady stream of WhatsApp offers promising quick returns

People leave with a plan they can follow from the next payday.

  • Westlands
  • Upper Hill
  • Kilimani
  • CBD
  • Mombasa Road
  • Industrial Area
  • Parklands
  • Gigiri
  • Karen
  • Lavington
  • Thika Road
  • Kileleshwa

And anywhere else in Nairobi and its surroundings, including Kiambu Road, Ruaka and Syokimau.

Across the city, office to office.

Sessions can run in a boardroom, a training room, a church hall or a SACCO office anywhere in Nairobi. Tell us your area in the form and we will plan the timing around traffic and your working day.

This is financial education, not financial advice. Rates and examples in sessions are illustrative, and we never recommend specific providers.

Training in Nairobi: your questions.

Do you come to our office in Nairobi?

Yes. We run sessions at offices anywhere in Nairobi, from Upper Hill and Westlands to the CBD, Kilimani and Mombasa Road. You can also bring your team to Hackhouse Africa in Westlands.

Can individuals join a training in Nairobi?

Yes. Open classes, workshops and events in Nairobi are listed on the events page, and anyone can sign up. Corporate sessions are private to the organisation that books them.

How far ahead should we book?

It depends on the calendar, so get in touch early, especially for January and the end of the financial year. A lunch and learn can often be arranged sooner than a full workshop.
