Step 3
Contribute & transact

Contribute & transact

Pay in with an M-Pesa prompt, or let the treasurer record cash. Every payment posts to a shared, append-only ledger that everyone can see.

Step 4
Lend, rotate, or share out

Lend, rotate, or share out

A chama lends the pool to members with interest and shares out at the end of the cycle. A merry-go-round pays the whole pot to one member each round.

Step 5
Stay accountable
