About Wazi

Money made clear — for every group

Wazi is Swahili for open, clear, transparent. It’s the one quality a savings group most needs and most often lacks. We built Wazi to give it to every group, not just chamas.

Why we exist

Trust shouldn’t depend on a notebook

Across Kenya, hundreds of thousands of chamas, burial committees, harambees, welfare and church groups cycle billions of shillings every month — almost all on the same fragile process: a member pays, screenshots the confirmation, and a volunteer treasurer copies it into a notebook.

Records get lost. Entries are forgotten. Members don’t know their own balance, and reconciliation triggers the suspicion that breaks groups apart — most painfully when a bereaved family is waiting on a collection.

Wazi removes the manual middle. A group signs up, picks its category, and gets a unique code. Members contribute through the app, M-Pesa, or WhatsApp, and every contribution is recorded automatically — with a live statement for everyone. Bookkeeping is free; we earn only on a small, transparent convenience fee.

What we believe

Four principles behind every decision

Transparent by default

Every member sees their own statement and the group position. That is the whole point — it is in the name.

Inclusive, not app-only

The WhatsApp channel reaches the members other tools quietly exclude.

Free where it matters

Bookkeeping is free for every group, forever. We earn on a tiny, optional convenience fee — never on your books.

Safe with money

We never hold your funds and never need a licence to. Your money goes to your bank, not ours.

A BridgeERP venture

Wazi is built and operated by BridgeERP Limited, a Nairobi software company serving businesses and institutions across the region. Wazi extends that platform into community finance — built once, serving every kind of group.
