A member disputes a balance, the treasurer changes, or a levy has to be collected by Friday. That's when the questions start.

“Have I paid for March?”
The treasurer spends evenings matching M-Pesa messages to names. With Jalika, every member sees their own statement.
“Is she a registered dependant?”
Eligibility arguments at the worst possible time. Jalika checks dependants, waiting periods and arrears automatically.
“Where did the money go?”
Members lose trust when figures can't be traced. Jalika keeps an audit trail and produces the AGM report in one click.

Everything your welfare runs on, in one system

From the day a member joins to the AGM report, each step is recorded once and shared with the people who need it.

M-Pesa contributions, receipted automatically

Members pay your paybill with their member number. Jalika matches the payment, sends a receipt and updates their statement.

Questions officials ask us

Something else on your mind? Talk to us.

What is a welfare management system?

A welfare management system is software that runs a welfare association's records: members and their dependants, monthly contributions, bereavement benefits, approvals, receipts and financial reports. It replaces exercise books, spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with one accurate, shared record.

Can Jalika be customised to our association's constitution?

Yes. Contribution amounts, penalties, waiting periods, benefit amounts per relative, approval levels and dependant categories are all settings your officials can change.

Can officials and members access it online?

Yes. Officials log in from any phone or computer with their own role and permissions. Members get a self-service portal to see statements, pay and report a bereavement.

Is our data safe?

Each association's data is kept separate, officials log in with two-step verification, every change is recorded in an audit trail and data is backed up daily. We follow the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.

Do you offer training and installation?

Yes. Every plan includes setup: we import your members, configure your rules and train your officials, online or on site.

Can we buy the system instead of subscribing?

Yes. Associations that prefer to own the system can buy a licence with yearly maintenance. Most choose the monthly subscription because it includes hosting, updates and support.
