What you get
01
Record a payment, or import the group's M-Pesa statement, and each one lands on the member's name against the oldest month they owe. Nobody works it out by hand.
02
Each member opens their own statement from a link: what they paid, what it covered and what is still owed. No account to create, no screenshots to forward.
03
A payout or a loan is asked for by one official and approved by another. Nobody spends the group's money alone, and everybody can see that nobody did.
The merry-go-round
Every member pays their share into the pot, and it goes to the next member in the rotation. The group can see who has paid in, who has had the pot and who is next. Reorder the rotation or draw lots, and the payout still needs a second official.
On the treasurer’s phone
Not an exercise book, not a WhatsApp thread of screenshots. Every contribution, fine, loan and payout, with who recorded it and when.
Raising for something bigger
Split the target into rounds and you know which ones you hit, which you missed and by how much, while there is still time to act. Every gift is recorded against its round, and a public page shows how far you have come.

You hit rounds one to three, missed the fourth by 40,000, and the fifth is tracking at the fourth’s rate, with five rounds left to do something about it.
A treasurer who looks after several chamas signs in once and moves between them. Each group sees only its own members and its own money.
Add your members and what each one pays. By the due date you will know who has paid, and so will they.
