What I Built
A customer walks up to a welder in Nairobi with a Pinterest screenshot. "I want this gate. How much?"
The welder squints at the phone. Does mental math. Guesses a number. Scribbles it on a scrap of cardboard. No material breakdown. No line items. The customer walks away and finds someone who looks more professional.
This happens thousands of times a day across Kenya's jua kali sector. "Jua kali" translates to "hot sun." It's what we call the 15 million informal artisans who build gates, furniture, window frames, and cabinets outdoors. They're skilled fabricators who lose work because they can't produce a quote on the spot.
