01 · The story

The idea.

The problem

A chama runs on trust and a treasurer’s notebook. Pamoja shows every member what’s been paid in and whose turn it is to receive.

What it does

  • The pot, what the group has saved together.
  • Pay by M-Pesa and everyone sees it land.
  • The merry-go-round: whose turn it is this month, and next.

Where it is now

A studio concept, designed as a working phone app.

02 · The design concept

Every shilling, together.

Cream paper, a deep steel blue and one burnt peach for money moving, with blocks cut at the corner like tickets.

Signature · Notched blocks

Each block has a corner cut out holding an arrow, like a ticket stub.
