About this app

PledgeCircle is a mobile-first digital platform designed to modernize and digitize community-based fundraising, event coordination, and communal financial practices across Africa. The platform provides a centralized ecosystem where communities can organize fundraising campaigns, track pledges and payments, discover service providers, and maintain transparent financial records for group activities.
Across many African societies, social events such as weddings, funerals, graduations, medical emergencies, and community development projects rely heavily on collective financial contributions from extended family members, friends, and community networks. These activities are usually coordinated through messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, where group members discuss contributions, make pledges, and coordinate event logistics.
PledgeCircle introduces a structured digital infrastructure that integrates fundraising management, vendor discovery, messaging automation, and financial transparency tools into a single platform.
The system will be deployed on leveraging scalable cloud infrastructure to support real-time messaging integrations, mobile application services, payment processing, analytics, and future artificial intelligence capabilities.
The platform architecture will include several core components:
•⁠ ⁠Mobile and web application services for campaign management
•⁠ ⁠A WhatsApp chatbot interface enabling conversational pledging and reminders
•⁠ ⁠Mobile Money payment integrations
•⁠ ⁠A vendor marketplace connecting communities with service providers
•⁠ ⁠A digital ledger system for communal savings
•⁠ ⁠A centralized analytics and reporting layer
•⁠ ⁠A future AI Intelligence Layer to provide predictive insights and automation
