Chamas — Kenya's Wealth-Building Secret
Over 300,000 registered chamas in Kenya manage KES 300 billion+ in assets. A chama is a self-help investment group — members pool money monthly, invest collectively & take turns accessing capital. SOKONI makes running your chama digital & transparent.
🔄 How a Chama Works
1
Form Your Group
3–30 members. Set monthly contribution amount (e.g. KES 1,000–50,000/member). Elect chairperson, treasurer & secretary.
2
Contribute Monthly
Every member contributes monthly via M-Pesa. SOKONI tracks contributions, sends reminders & flags missed payments automatically.
3
Pool & Invest
Pool funds into: Money Market Funds (10–15% p.a.), Treasury Bills, land purchase, shares on NSE, or a group business/rental property.
4
Access Chama Loans
Members can borrow up to 3× their savings from the chama fund at 0–5% interest. Repaid back into the pool — no bank required.
5
Bank Group Loans
With 6+ months of records, your chama qualifies for group loans from KCB, Equity & Co-op Bank (up to KES 10M with group guarantee).
6
Grow Wealth Together
Annual AGM: distribute dividends, review investments, elect new officials. Many chamas own apartments, schools & businesses within 5 years.
