🎯 Milestones
The challenges of building from abroad
No visibility on progress
You send money but have no way to verify what's actually happening on site. Photos come sporadically, if at all.
Budget disappears
Costs spiral without explanation. You're asked for more money but can't see where the original budget went.
Trust is hard to build
Horror stories from friends and family make you hesitant. How do you know your contractor is reliable?
How Mjengo protects your investment
Daily photo updates
See what's happening on your site every day. Timestamped photos give you visual proof of progress.
Real-time budget tracking
Every shilling is accounted for. See exactly what's been spent, on what, and how it compares to the estimate.
Milestone-based payments
Your money is released only when verified milestones are completed. No more paying for unfinished work.
Verified contractors
Work with contractors who use professional tools and have a track record of transparency and delivery.
