THE PROBLEM

Funeral funds run on trust — and trust breaks when the records don't add up.

Most burial societies and staff welfare funds still track contributions in an exercise book or a phone's Notes app. When a member's family needs a payout, someone has to reconstruct months of payments from memory, screenshots, and mobile money SMS. A dashboard fixes that.

WHO IT'S FOR

Any group where members pay in, and the fund pays out

If contributions and payouts are currently tracked by hand, this replaces the exercise book without changing how your fund actually runs.

Burial Societies

Community and neighbourhood societies where members contribute monthly toward funeral costs for one another.

Staff Welfare Funds

Company or department funds where staff contribute from their pay toward bereavement support for colleagues.

Church & Congregation Funds

Congregation-run funeral assistance funds tracking member contributions and payouts by household.

Extended Family Funds

Family associations pooling contributions across branches so no relative faces funeral costs alone.

A TYPICAL MONTH

What it looks like in practice

Take a 40-member fund contributing K150 a month. Here's the month, start to finish.

Members pay the fund's mobile money number, as they always have

Nothing changes about how or where members send their contribution.

The chairperson logs each payment as it comes in

A few taps per member. The dashboard totals the month automatically — no spreadsheet required.

Arrears surface on their own

Anyone who hasn't paid shows up on the Arrears page with the exact amount owed — no cross-checking a register by hand.

End of month, one report, one tap

The chairperson generates the month's summary and copies it straight into the fund's WhatsApp group for everyone to see.

WHAT'S INSIDE

One dashboard for the whole fund

Everything a chairperson needs to run the fund, and a self-service view for members to check their own standing.

Member Ledger

Every member's status, contact details, and standing in one list — active or inactive at a glance.

Contributions & Arrears

Log monthly contributions in seconds and see exactly who's behind and by how much, automatically.

Bereavement Cases & Payouts

File a case when a death occurs, track beneficiaries, and compute the payout — fixed amount or a percentage of total contributions.

Member Self-Service Portal

Members look up their own contribution history by phone number — no login, no waiting on the chairperson.

Monthly Reports

Generate a summary for any month and copy it straight into the fund's WhatsApp group.

Works Offline

Install it as an app on your phone. It works without signal and syncs quietly once you're back online.

Beneficiary Management

Record each member's beneficiaries in advance, so a payout is never held up figuring out who to pay.

Backup & Restore

Export the fund's full records as a JSON backup at any time — a safety copy independent of any one device.

SECURITY & TRUST

The fund's records, protected the way they should be

Bereavement records are sensitive. The app is built so only the chairperson can change them, while members can still check their own standing without asking anyone.

Login-Protected Chairperson Access

Only someone signed in with the chairperson's email and password can open the management side of the app and edit records.

Members See Only Their Own

The self-service portal looks up one phone number at a time and shows nothing beyond that member's own history.

Local-First, Cloud-Backed

Data lives on the chairperson's device first, with cloud sync once you log in — so the fund isn't lost if a phone is.

Name the fund, add your mobile money number, and set the default monthly contribution and payout.

02

Add your members

Bring in the fund's members with their phone numbers and beneficiaries.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

What happens if the chairperson's phone breaks?

Log in with your chairperson email from any device — the fund's data is tied to that account, not to one phone. Also export a backup regularly from Reports.

Does it need internet to work?

No. It works fully offline and syncs in the background once the device is back online.

Can members see each other's contributions?

No. The member portal only shows the contribution history for the phone number that's looked up — nothing about other members.

How is the fund's money handled?

The app doesn't hold or move money. It tracks records only — contributions still go to the fund's own mobile money number, exactly as they do today.

Can we switch chairpersons later?

Yes. Log in with a new email on the home page to create a fresh chairperson account — the fund's records stay exactly as they are.

Is this only for one fund, or can it manage several?

Each installation runs one fund. A committee managing more than one fund would set up a separate instance for each.

What if we stop paying the subscription?

The fund's records stay on the chairperson's device either way — export a backup any time from Reports, regardless of subscription status.
