For chamas, saccos, welfare groups, residents and committees

Where your group gets things done.

One calm, trusted place for your group's chats, decisions, calls, contributions and records — instead of a busy WhatsApp group and a treasurer's notebook. And nobody sees your phone number.

Inside the app

Everything your group needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Chat

Chat that keeps working.

Group rooms and direct messages that feel familiar, built for real networks. Write on the matatu with no signal and your messages send the moment you are back online.

Opens at the first message you have not read
Orange ticks show when a message is read
See exactly who has read, and who has not

Decide and talk

Decide together, in minutes.

Settle questions with a quick poll instead of 200 messages. Send a voice note when you are on the move, or call the whole group in two taps.

Polls with live results and a clear record
Voice notes and group calls with screen sharing
Meetings with agendas and minutes

Savings & Chama

Every shilling clear.

Merry-go-round, savings and investment groups with books every member can trust. The treasurer records, members see their own statement, and nobody has to ask twice.

Who has paid, who is due, at a glance
Whose turn it is, for everyone to see
Corrections never erase the original entry

Welfare

Stand by each other when it matters.

Family and community welfare groups with rules members vote on, cases verified and approved by officials, and support paid openly.

Know your standing: credit and arrears
Rules adopted, and changed, by vote
Every payout recorded and confirmed

Fundraisers

Raise funds openly, for any cause.

Medical bills, school fees, funerals, weddings and building funds. Contributions and pledges are tracked in one place, so supporters see the progress for themselves.

A live total and list of contributions
Pledges followed up until they are paid
Paste an existing list and keep going

Photos and receipts

Point it out. Highlight it.

Mark up a receipt or a photo before you share it: draw, highlight, add text, and blur a phone number. Then see who has read it.

Crop, draw, highlight, text and stickers
Blur what others should not see
Message info: read, delivered, not yet delivered

Common ID

One profile. Your number stays yours.

Carry one profile across all your groups and share a link or QR code instead of your phone number. Members never see each other's numbers.

A public profile you control
Only officers can see a number, and it is recorded
Your roles in every group, in one place
