Chamas
Run your chama without the notebook
Contributions, arrears and the group balance - in one record every member can see.
Most chamas run on a notebook the treasurer carries, a WhatsApp thread nobody scrolls back through, and a spreadsheet one person can open. It works until somebody asks what they paid in April, or the treasurer travels, or the book gets rained on. The money is rarely the problem. The record is.
What Jamvi does about it
Record the whole meeting in one entry
Everyone starts ticked at the usual amount. Untick the two who have not paid and save once. You are not typing forty identical figures, and the group balance moves in the same action.
See who is behind, at a glance
Names down the side, months across the top - the sheet you already keep, filled in. Switch on show only those who still owe and you have the list to chase, with the shortfall beside each name.
The month's sheet, sent round
Download the contribution sheet for any run of months as a PDF and drop it in the group chat, instead of typing it out. There is one for each member too. Every sheet carries a link back to Jamvi, so anyone who receives it can check the figures were not changed after it was sent.
The whole chama can watch, for free
Send a read-only link and every member can open the group and see the balance, the contributions and the reports - without being able to change anything, and without paying. Only the people who record money need a subscription.
Members who do not use the app still count
Add somebody by name. No smartphone, no invitation, no email. The treasurer records for them and they appear in the sheet like anybody else.
Corrections are visible, not silent
Nothing is deleted. A changed entry keeps a reason attached, so a correction reads as a correction rather than as something being hidden.
What you start with
A chama collects and reports; it does not usually keep a household budget, so those tabs stay off until you want them.
