The society should not depend on an exercise book.
Many welfare societies still keep their member register in a book, record contributions in another book and use WhatsApp when something needs to be announced.
That works until someone asks what they have contributed, a member's status changes, a support event needs to be settled, or the treasurer needs to account for money collected.
KijiWelfare keeps those records together while allowing the society to continue operating the way it already does.
Every member has a record.
The society can keep members on its register even when they do not have a phone.
Each member has a standing that can be active, semi-active or dormant. The society's contribution rules can use that standing when calculating what a member owes.
When a member's status changes, the change becomes part of the record instead of changing what the society remembers about the past.
See member records →Know what was expected and what was actually paid.
The society sets its contribution rules and KijiWelfare works out what members owe.
Payments are recorded against the member and the contribution they were making. Older entries retain the amounts and rules that applied when they were created, so changing today's contribution does not rewrite yesterday's records.
See contributions →Handle support events without losing the money trail.
When a member is bereaved, hospitalised or getting married, the society can open a support event and invite contributions.
The system records what comes in, the society's agreed operational share and what is disbursed to the beneficiary. If part of the money needs to remain held until the matter is confirmed settled, that can also be recorded.
See support events →Branches and sub-groups can keep their own money.
A society may have village branches, women's groups, youth groups or other internal organisations.
KijiWelfare lets a sub-group collect and hold its own money while remaining part of the wider society. The society can therefore keep its overall records without forcing every group to use the same contribution arrangement.
See sub-groups →The society's property has a record too.
If the society owns tents, chairs, sound equipment or other property, it can record what it owns and who has borrowed it.
The society can set lending rates, record what went out and reconcile it when the property comes back.
It can also record contributions made in kind, such as firewood, food or chairs, without putting those items into the cash accounts.
See asset lending →People can find societies before they join.
KijiWelfare provides a public place where societies can be discovered.
A person looking for a society in their area can find one and apply to join. Where a society limits membership by location, officials can see how far an applicant is from the society and decide whether to admit them.
Officials can also add members directly or import an existing register.

KijiWelfare is designed around the mobile phone rather than assuming that every society has a computer in its office.
Members and officials use the mobile app to access the parts of the society's records that concern them.
See the mobile app →KijiWelfare is a product of kilimo.tech.
KijiWelfare is built by kilimo.tech, a Kenyan software development company that builds software products and develops software for businesses and organisations.
