Money
Dues & donations
Members pay by M-Pesa or card, and every payment posts itself against the right member and invoice. The treasurer sees who's paid, who's behind, and by how much — without opening a spreadsheet.

Platform capabilities
What the board sees on Monday morning
Four jobs, one system — the money, the people, the service work, and the oversight that ties them together. Built around the real rhythm of a club, in any timezone.
People
Membership lifecycle
Every member from induction to active service — attendance, classification, and participation history in one record instead of a folder of old files.
Money
Financial transparency
Month-end reports, expense logs, and income summaries are ready for the board on demand — and shareable with the membership in one click.
Service
Welfare & member care
Welfare cases, disbursement approvals, and fund balances — multi-step sign-off, a full audit trail, and a confidential member portal for requests.
Service
Service projects & impact
Create projects, assign leads, log volunteer hours, and record what actually changed — trees planted, people served, classrooms built. Export the annual report in minutes, not weekends.

Donor management
Campaigns, recurring gifts, pledges, and tax-compliant receipts — collected by card or M-Pesa. Donors get their own app to follow the impact they funded.
Oversight
Governance & approvals
Board resolutions, budget approvals, and role transitions — each one documented, timestamped, and tied to the person who made it.
People
Club announcements
Bulletins, invitations, and urgent notices go out by email or SMS — and land, instead of scrolling past in a group chat.
Oversight
Districts & multi-club
Districts roll reporting and governance up across every club they oversee, and a member can serve in more than one club without a second account.
The audit trail
Every transaction, on the record.
Each payment, disbursement, and approval posts to the general ledger with a timestamp and the person behind it. Nothing is edited in place; nothing happens off the books.

See it in action
The whole club, on one screen
This is the board dashboard your officers open each morning — members, dues, finances, welfare, and projects, all live and reconciled. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Illustrative preview. Your dashboard reflects your club's own members, dues, and projects.
Getting started
Up and running in three steps
Your club is unique. Bustani shapes itself around your existing structure — not the other way around.
01
Set up your club
Register your club, import your existing member roster, and configure dues amounts, fiscal year, and board roles. Takes about 20 minutes for a typical club.
02
Invite your members
Each member receives a personal invitation. They activate their account, link their M-Pesa, and are immediately visible in your membership dashboard.
03
Lead with confidence
From the first meeting, your board has full visibility into attendance, finances, and project progress. No more chasing updates. The data is simply there.
What changes
Less admin. More service.
Bustani is built on a simple belief: the hours your officers spend chasing receipts and drafting reminder messages are hours taken away from meaningful work in your community.
- 01
Treasurer confidence
Your treasurer can close the books each month knowing every shilling is accounted for — and share that clarity with the full board.
- 02
Secretary productivity
Attendance, correspondence, and minutes all flow through one place. What used to take a full day now takes an hour.
- 03
Member engagement
When members can see where their dues go and the impact of each project, participation grows naturally.
- 04
Board continuity
Leadership changes no longer mean institutional memory loss. Every decision, every project, every contact is retained.
“Before Bustani, I was spending three evenings a week managing dues on a spreadsheet and sending reminders on WhatsApp. Now I just check the dashboard on Friday morning and I'm done.”

What officers are saying
“Our annual report used to take the Secretary and me two full weekends. This year, I exported it from Bustani in about ten minutes. The board was genuinely impressed.”
“The M-Pesa integration is what sold us. Our members don't carry cash and they don't always check email. Being able to pay dues from a phone prompt removed every excuse.”
“Tracking our tree-planting project used to be a pile of forms. Now the project lead updates Bustani on their phone, and I can see volunteer numbers and progress from anywhere.”

Frequently asked
Questions clubs ask before signing up
If your question isn't here, drop us a note from the contact page and we'll get back to you.
Which payment methods does Bustani support?
Stripe for card payments in 40+ countries, M-Pesa STK Push for clubs in East Africa, and bank-transfer reconciliation anywhere. All payments post automatically against the right member or invoice.
Which countries does Bustani serve?
Bustani is built for Rotary clubs worldwide. Multi-currency, multi-timezone, and multi-language support is included, alongside handling for regional tax-receipt and compliance rules. Pilot clubs are in East Africa; the platform is designed to operate anywhere.
Does it work for whole districts, or just one club?
Both. Each club gets its own isolated workspace; districts can roll up reporting and governance across every club they oversee, and members can serve in more than one club without duplicate accounts.
What about welfare and donor management?
Welfare cases, disbursement approvals, and fund balances are tracked end-to-end with multi-step approval workflows and a full audit trail. Donor management covers campaigns, recurring gifts, tax-compliant receipts, and a dedicated donor mobile app.
How long does setup take?
Most clubs are live in about 20 minutes — set up the club, import members, configure dues, and you can start collecting payments the same day.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Starter plan is free for small clubs and includes member management, dues tracking, and basic reporting. Paid tiers add welfare workflows, donor management, multi-club rollup, custom branding, and priority support.
Where is the data hosted, and is it secure?
Data is hosted on DigitalOcean's Frankfurt region with encryption in transit and at rest, row-level security per club, and routine backups. Compliant with GDPR, the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019, and other regional data-protection frameworks. Custom hosting regions are available on Enterprise plans.
Can members access it on their phones?
Yes. Members get a mobile app for iOS and Android to view dues, RSVP to meetings, track welfare, browse the directory, and follow projects. Donors get a separate app to give, manage pledges, and follow impact updates.
