Seven levels. Each one a real thing, delivered.

Every number is your total savings, not another payment. Nothing is delivered before it's fully covered by what you saved.

The mechanic

Layaway for a business. Never a loan.

This isn't table banking. Nothing gets pooled and lent out at interest. Your account is yours alone — which is why you can save at whatever pace you manage, because nobody else's payout depends on you.

Over 90% of Kenyan entrepreneurs say visible savings bring demands from family. Locked and spoken for is a reason to say no that everyone understands.

68.1%of Kenyans still save
64%borrow just to get by
58%of M-Pesa activity is 100 bob or less. Small is normal.
Partner Chama

Five businesses per city. Twenty-five in the country.

I don't live in Kenya. I'm there two or three times a year, about a month each trip. Five businesses in one city is a real weekend of work — a handful scattered everywhere is what creates chaos.

So the waitlist runs by cohort, not by calendar. Four to six weeks before a trip I announce which cities I'm reaching — that's when those slots open.

Why 50,000 KSH

One ad session alone normally costs more than the whole year. The price is there to filter, not to profit — if 50,000 is out of reach, Founding is the honest door.

Hardcore Chama

Eleven of us. Two days each. One trip.

Two full days at each member's business is about 22 days — one month-long visit, almost exactly. This is harambee in its original form: groups who rotated working each other's land, contribution tracked and returned.

Rule 01Prove it, then receiveFirst build slots go to me and the most established members. After that you're only eligible for your own build once you've worked at three others' sessions.
Rule 02Points with teethPlus one for showing up, minus one for skipping — and a small refundable M-Pesa deposit, forfeited for a skipped session. Visible to the whole group.
Rule 03A real floorDrop below the line and you sit out the next rotation. Twice and you go back to Founding. Not a ban — you give what you promised.

Savers become businesses. Businesses become partners.

You come in Founding500 bob, no capital needed. You save, you climb, you get a real registered business built.

You show up for othersEngage enough and you can apply for Hardcore — the room where we build each other's businesses by hand.

Your business becomes PartnerOnce it can carry the retainer, you take a city slot — and you're on the other side of the table.

500 bob. Then it's on you and me.

One entrance fee, paid once, by M-Pesa. Your savings account opens the same day and the first level is 5,000 away.
