// what you get

Everything to run a contribution campaign.

Paste straight from WhatsApp

Already have a numbered pledge list shared in a WhatsApp group? Paste it in. Nasisms parses names, phone numbers and amounts automatically, so nobody has to retype them.

Personalized SMS reminders

Send one message that fills in each person's own name, pledge, amount paid and balance. You can target just the people who haven't paid in full.

Live payment tracking

A running total of pledged, paid and remaining amounts, plus a progress bar, updates the moment you log a payment.

CSV & Excel import, PDF export

Bring an existing member list in from a spreadsheet, and export your data back out as CSV, Excel, or a formatted PDF for sharing or printing.

A ledger you control

Payments are recorded by you: cash, bank transfer or mobile money. Each entry keeps a date and a note, so there’s always a clear paper trail.

No extra fees

Michango uses your existing Nasisms SMS wallet for reminders, at your standard per-SMS rate. Creating campaigns and tracking pledges is free.

Questions about Michango, answered.

What is "michango"?+

"Michango" is Swahili for "contributions": the custom of a group pooling money for a wedding, funeral, send-off, community project or savings group. Nasisms’ Michango feature is a dashboard tool for organizing exactly that. It tracks who pledged what, who has paid, and reminds people by SMS.

Can I use Nasisms to track wedding contributions in Tanzania?+

Yes. Create a campaign under the Wedding type, add each contributor with their pledge amount, and send SMS reminders as the date approaches. The dashboard shows total pledged, total paid, and the remaining balance at a glance.

Does Nasisms have a category for vicoba, send-off, rambi rambi or kitchen party?+

Every Michango campaign is filed under one of four types: Wedding, Harambee, Community or Other. The title and details are entirely yours to set, though, so people use it for vicoba/chama groups, send-offs, rambi rambi and kitchen parties just by naming the campaign accordingly. There isn’t a separate badge for each one.

Can I import a WhatsApp contribution list into Michango?+

Yes. Paste a numbered WhatsApp pledge list and Nasisms automatically extracts each name, phone number and amount for you to review before importing. A CSV/Excel import is also available.

Do Michango SMS reminders cost extra?+

There’s no separate fee for the feature itself: creating campaigns, adding members and recording payments are all free. Sending SMS reminders draws from your normal Nasisms SMS wallet at your standard per-SMS rate.

Can members pay their pledge directly through Nasisms?+

Not yet. Michango is a tracking ledger, not a payment gateway, so members pay you by whatever means you already use (cash, bank transfer, mobile money), and you record each payment in the dashboard yourself.
