The right group, and the tools to run it well.

Kenyans save and invest together in chamas — merry-go-rounds, welfare groups and investment clubs holding an estimated KES 300 billion between them.

Members want a group they can trust; groups want to run contributions, meetings and loans without paper. Kijichama does both — and scores how well a chama is run, so the best groups stand out.

Performance score

A score that rewards well-run groups.

Every chama gets a score built from collection rate, arrears, loan repayment, attendance, membership stability and rotation completion — the things that actually tell you a group is healthy.

The best-run chamas rise up the leaderboard, opening the door to recognition, credit and partners.

Run your chama on Kijichama.

Contributions, meetings, loans and a performance score in one place — and a place on the directory for members to find you.
