Accounts for church groups, fellowships and faith-based savings groups
Fellowships, choirs and small Christian communities often run savings, welfare and project funds alongside their ministry. Stewardship means the books should be open and the approvals shared. ChamaBook gives treasurers an easy way to do that.
What church and faith groups need
Clear separation of savings, welfare and project funds
Accountability to the whole group
Approvals shared between officials
Records that pass from one committee to the next
How ChamaBook helps
Funds kept apart. Contribution types for savings, welfare, harambee and projects, each with its own balance.
Open to members. Members see the group's books and their own statement from their phone.
Shared approvals. Payments need the officials you choose, each with a code.
Handover without loss. When the committee changes, the records and audit trail stay with the group.
A typical set-up
A youth fellowship saving KES 200 a week, a welfare fund for members' families, and a project fund for a mission trip, with the chairperson and treasurer approving every payment.
Questions church and faith groups ask
Can a church fellowship use ChamaBook for project money?
Yes. Keep savings, welfare and project contributions as separate types, record pledges as they are paid, and share statements so every member sees how the money was used.
Who can see the group's books?
Every member can see their own statement and the group's books. By default other members' names are hidden in the books unless the group chooses full transparency.
