Fourteen services. One account.
Any phone.
East Africa's logistics platform — fourteen services, one account, any phone.
Taxis, freight, delivery, water, machinery and more — booked from a smartphone, from *922# on a feature phone, or by calling 9252 and speaking your own language.
Walya is opening in stages. Public sign-up is closed while the platform completes its security review — why that is deliberate.

How it worksHow Walya works
The same three steps behind every service.
Ask from any phone
App, *922# on a feature phone, or a call to 9252 answered in your language.
Get real offers, not a queue
Verified providers near you bid for the job. You choose on price, vehicle and record — before you commit.
Money moves on delivery
Payment waits in escrow and is released by a scan at the handover. Work that did not happen is not paid for.
Your identity documents never leave the country
Walya runs on its own infrastructure inside Ethiopia. Your Fayda ID is read by a text-recognition engine we host ourselves — never sent to a foreign cloud service. Maps and routing come from our own servers, not from a company abroad watching where you travel. Personal fields are encrypted by the application before they reach the database, so the stored data is ciphertext rather than a readable copy of your life.
Read exactly what we do with your dataDrivers are verified against documents, not declarations
A vehicle’s plate is checked against photographs of the plate and its bollo certificate — not against the number the owner typed in.
Payment is held, not handed over
Escrow releases on a scanned confirmation at the handover, and returns to you if the job does not happen.
Commission is stated before you accept
Either 0% or 12%, depending on subscription, shown on the offer. No fee appears afterwards.
Works without a data plan
*922# and the 9252 voice line reach the same platform as the app.
Drive and earn with Walya
Bid for work from any handset, get paid to telebirr, M-Pesa or your bank, and keep a record that travels with you. No smartphone required.
What you need to startMove freight for your business
Post loads and receive competing bids, track vehicles in real time, clear customs on corridor traffic, and get electronic invoices your accountant can file.
