The Story of Joyce and Her Fundraising Group
Joyce, a young entrepreneur, was part of a local community group in Nairobi that was raising funds to start a small business. While the group members trusted each other, they often struggled with tracking their individual contributions and ensuring that the funds were being used appropriately. In the past, Joyce’s group had to rely on spreadsheets and manual updates, leading to confusion and delays in accessing funds.
One day, Joyce heard about OneKitty, a new platform designed to solve these issues by automating crowdfunding and ensuring transparency. The platform uses WhatsApp chatbots to update members in real-time whenever a contribution is made. Joyce decided to introduce OneKitty to her group to help streamline the process.
The Difference OneKitty Made
The impact of OneKitty was immediate. Once the group signed up, each member received a chatbot on WhatsApp. The chatbot automatically recorded their contributions and provided instant feedback after every deposit, making it clear who had contributed and how much. Gone were the days of waiting for spreadsheets to be updated manually or having disputes over missing payments.
Joyce’s group found that they could easily track progress toward their goal and make decisions on how to use the funds with full transparency. OneKitty had transformed their fundraising process from something stressful and disorganized to something efficient and trustworthy.
A Seamless Solution for Every Fundraiser
Joyce’s experience is just one example of how OneKitty is bringing ease and transparency to informal fundraising efforts across Kenya. By integrating seamlessly with WhatsApp, a platform many people already use, OneKitty has made managing community savings groups and crowdfunding efforts not just easier but also more transparent than ever before.
Whether you’re raising funds for a community project, a wedding, or a small business, OneKitty is the tool that ensures your contributions are tracked in real-time, giving you and your group peace of mind.
