How to collect group contributions
Collecting from a group usually means screenshots, personal numbers and a notebook. One link with a record of who paid saves the treasurer hours and avoids arguments.
- Free to start. Zanja keeps 5% of each donation and nothing else.
- Supporters give with Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Zamtel Kwacha, Visa and Mastercard.
- Cash out to mobile money or a Zambian bank account (minimum K50).
Choose the right tool
- One-off collection (a colleague's wedding, a member's funeral): a campaign with a goal.
- Items the group is buying: a wish list, so people give towards specific things.
- Regular dues (monthly subscriptions, levies): a community page with membership plans and reminders.
Run it well
- Agree the amount and deadline at the meeting.
- Share the link in the group, not a personal number.
- Post the total, not individual amounts, to encourage others.
- Download the list for the minutes.
What Zanja is not
Zanja collects payments for a purpose and pays them out to the organiser. It is not a bank or savings account, and it doesn't hold money for savings groups.

Frequently asked questions
Can we see who has paid?
Yes. The organiser sees each payment with the payer's name (unless they chose to be anonymous) and can download the list.
