Where Gambian skills meet real opportunity.

Serving Banjul, Serekunda, Kanifing, Brikama, Bakau and communities across Greater Banjul — growing outward.

Why LocalHands

Work gets done every day in The Gambia. Finding the right person should not be a gamble.

Too often hiring means a forwarded number, no proof of past work, and no shared record if something goes wrong. LocalHands is a Gambian-built platform where workers are checked before they appear, jobs stay in-app with clear fees, and both sides can rate each other after the job.

Whether you need a phone fixed in Serekunda, solar help in Brikama, or extra hands for a business in Banjul — start with verified skills, not a stranger on WhatsApp.

Verified

Workers reviewed — including ID checks where required — before they appear

Rated

Mutual ratings after each completed job

Clear fees

Workers see net pay before they accept

Mobile money

Agree price in-app; pay with Wave and record the reference

How payment works

Price in-app. Pay how you already pay.

LocalHands keeps negotiation and fees transparent so less happens off-platform. Full in-app escrow is planned once local mobile-money APIs are connected; today the flow is built around Wave (and later Afrimoney).

  • Agree the price in the app — request, counter-offer, or claim an open job. Both sides see the agreed amount and the platform fee before anyone accepts.
  • Worker sees net pay — the amount after the LocalHands fee, so there are no surprise cuts.
  • Pay with Wave — client sends payment the usual way (Wave). The payment reference is recorded on the job so both sides have a shared record.
  • Mark complete & rate — once the work is done, both sides rate each other. Trust builds on real completed jobs.

Next step: partner APIs so money can sit in escrow until the job is confirmed — same clear fees, stronger protection for both sides.

Built for skilled workers

Whether you are a trained graduate, tradesperson, technician or independent service provider, LocalHands helps you turn your skills into opportunities — with a verified profile, proof of work, clear pay before you accept, and ratings that travel with you.
