Taskeeu vs word of mouth in Ghana
Asking a sister, a neighbour or a church member for a good plumber or a reliable person to wash is how most help is found in Ghana. It works when you have the right contacts, but it is slow when you have just moved.
Taskeeu keeps that personal trust and adds verified identities, competing prices, a payment hold and public reviews.
