About us
Helping Lagosians find help they can trust
Handiwa started with a simple frustration: finding a reliable plumber, electrician or cleaner in Lagos usually meant asking five people, waiting two days, and hoping for the best.
Our story
Handiwa is a local service marketplace. We connect everyday people — busy professionals, families, and small businesses — with verified taskers who fix, clean, build, style and maintain their world.
Every tasker on the platform goes through identity verification and lists real, transparent pricing. Every job is booked, tracked and paid through the platform with escrow protection, so there is no haggling in the dark and no paying upfront for work that never happens.
For taskers, we are a way to turn a skill into steady income — with tools to manage bookings, get paid on time, and build a reputation that follows them across Lagos.
Why people choose Handiwa
- ✅ Every tasker is ID-verified — no anonymous strangers in your home
- ✅ Transparent naira pricing before you book
- ✅ Pay by card or transfer with escrow protection
- ✅ Real reviews from real completed jobs
- ✅ Support that actually answers in Lagos time
What we stand for
Trust first
Every tasker passes identity verification (KYC) and builds a public track record of ratings before they can earn.
Escrow payments
Your money is held safely and only released to the tasker once you confirm the job was completed.
Made for Lagos
Pricing in naira, coverage across Lagos areas, and skills locals actually need — from generators to gele.
Both sides win
Customers get dependable help. Taskers get fair pay, steady work and a way to grow a reputation.
