Michango is a contribution tracker built into your Nasisms dashboard. Use it for weddings, send-offs, kitchen parties, vicoba groups, rambi rambi, or any harambee. Add members, chase pledges by SMS, and always know who still owes.
Track pledges from family and guests toward the wedding budget.
Collect contributions for a colleague or friend moving on.
Coordinate gifts and cash contributions before the big day.
Keep a running ledger of what each member has paid into the group.
Organize condolence contributions for a family in mourning.
Fund a community project, medical bill, or shared cause.
Every campaign is filed under Wedding, Harambee, Community or Other. The title and details are yours to customize for any occasion above.
Set a title, pick a type (Wedding, Harambee, Community or Other), and a start and end date.
Enter names and pledge amounts by hand, paste a WhatsApp contribution list, or import a CSV/Excel file.
Message everyone, or just the ones who still owe. Each text is personalized with the recipient’s name and balance.
Log cash, bank or mobile money payments as they come in. Every payment is kept as a dated record.
Download the full member list and payment ledger as CSV, Excel or a formatted PDF.
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.
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.
A running total of pledged, paid and remaining amounts, plus a progress bar, updates the moment you log a payment.
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.
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.
Michango uses your existing Nasisms SMS wallet for reminders, at your standard per-SMS rate. Creating campaigns and tracking pledges is free.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
