FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ajo/Esusu/Chama?
These are traditional rotating savings groups common across Africa. A group of people each contribute a fixed amount regularly, and the total pool is given to one member each cycle. In Nigeria it's called Ajo or Esusu, in Kenya it's Chama, in South Africa it's Stokvel, and in West Africa it's also called Tontine.
How many members can I track?
Up to 30 members per savings group, and you can create multiple groups.
Does this handle the money?
No. This is a tracking tool, not a payment platform. It helps you organise schedules, track who has paid, and generate reports. Actual money transfers happen through your existing channels (bank transfer, mobile money, cash).
Can other members see the tracker?
The tracker runs locally on your device. To share with members, export a PDF report. We plan to add shared group links in a future update.
What contribution frequencies are supported?
Weekly, bi-weekly (fortnightly), and monthly. You set the start date and the tool calculates all payout dates automatically.
Is this free?
Completely free. No registration, no limits, no ads.
Start Tracking Your Savings Circle
Ajo, Esusu, Chama, Stokvel, Tontine -- whatever you call it, we track it.
Rotating savings groups are one of Africa's oldest and most powerful financial traditions. Known as Ajo or Esusu in Nigeria, Chama in Kenya, Stokvel in South Africa, and Tontine in West and Central Africa, these groups allow members to save collectively and access larger sums of money than they could save individually. Despite being a cornerstone of informal finance across the continent, most groups still track contributions with notebooks, WhatsApp messages, or memory alone.
Why Digital Tracking Matters
As savings groups grow in size and contribution amounts increase, manual tracking becomes unreliable. Disputes over who paid what, confusion about payout order, and lost records can break trust and dissolve groups. A digital tracker eliminates these problems by providing a clear, shareable record of every contribution and payout.
Built for African Savings Culture
The AfroTools Ajo/Chama Tracker understands how these groups actually work. Unlike generic expense trackers, it models the rotating payout structure, supports African currencies, handles flexible contribution frequencies, and generates reports that group administrators can share with members. It works offline because we know internet access isn't always reliable. And it's completely free because financial tools should be accessible to everyone.
