Most chamas don't fail because of bad investments.

They fail because of:
• Verbal agreements nobody wrote down
• One person controlling all the records
• No agreed process for evaluating new opportunities
• "Which spreadsheet is the current one?"

For most frequent reason savings groups and investment clubs fall apart isn't money.

It's trust. 🧵

Wemby is really a CHEAT Code 👽

[KashRound @kashround]

Are you in three savings groups?

KashRound lets you switch between all of them from one login.

No separate accounts. No confusion about which group you're looking at. 🧵

We’ve fully migrated our investment club transactions for the last 4 years to KashRound 🙌🏾 we don’t need to keep updating our excel formulae anymore

Things that cause drama in savings groups:

😤 "Did you record my contribution?"
😤 "How much interest did you calculate?"
😤 "Who approved that loan?"
😤 "Show me the balance"

Imagine if everyone could just... check the app.

That's KashRound. https://t.co/MiyXIJXwJo

@NIRA_Ug which one is the WAKISO (52) office?
I’ve been informed collect my card but I don’t know where that is and no one seems to pick when I call the numbers on the website.

Harry Kane is definitely waiting for tomorrow night to avenge for his former club 🙌

I have an idea 🇺🇬 Some parties/events shouldn’t have chairs 🙂

At Mandela National Stadium, the first 2 ticket levels only apply if you’re 2 hours early. Beyond that, it’s survival for the fittest 🙌🏾

If Arsenal continues playing like this, I don’t think we’re winning the premier league this season 🚶🏾

There’s something different about having business discussions over a beer.

VAR in LaLiga is confusing, they couldn’t flag a handball check but they found a forehead offside 🙌🏾 #ElClásico
