Membership lifecycle
Track every member from induction to active engagement. Record attendance, classification, and participation history without hunting through old files.
Bustani brings your membership, finances, welfare, donors, and service projects into one place — for Rotary clubs and districts anywhere in the world.
Platform capabilities
Built around the actual rhythms of a Rotary club — from weekly meetings to year-end board handovers, in any timezone.
Track every member from induction to active engagement. Record attendance, classification, and participation history without hunting through old files.
Members pay via M-Pesa or card. Payments reconcile automatically. The treasurer sees exactly who has paid, who hasn't, and by how much — in real time.
Create projects, assign leads, log volunteer hours, and record impact — trees planted, people served, classrooms built. Your annual report writes itself.
Send weekly bulletins, event invitations, and urgent notices directly through Bustani. Members receive them via email or SMS — no more lost WhatsApp messages.
Board resolutions, budget approvals, and role transitions all live here. Every decision is documented, timestamped, and tied to the right person.
Month-end reports, expense logs, and income summaries are always available to board members — and can be shared with the membership at the click of a button.
Track welfare cases, approve disbursements, and monitor fund balances. Multi-step approval workflows, full audit trail, and a member-facing portal for confidential requests.
Run fundraising campaigns, accept gifts via card or M-Pesa, manage pledges and recurring donations, and issue tax-compliant receipts. Donors get a dedicated app to track impact.
Districts roll up reporting and governance across every club they oversee. District governors get cross-club tools, and members can serve in more than one club without duplicate accounts.
Getting started
Your club is unique. Bustani shapes itself around your existing structure — not the other way around.
01
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
Each member receives a personal invitation. They activate their account, link their M-Pesa, and are immediately visible in your membership dashboard.
03
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
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.
Your treasurer can close the books each month knowing every shilling is accounted for — and share that clarity with the full board.
Attendance, correspondence, and minutes all flow through one place. What used to take a full day now takes an hour.
When members can see where their dues go and the impact of each project, participation grows naturally.
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.”

Member voices
“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.”
