Case study · Platform
OneKitty
A contribution platform for chamas, fundraisers and group events in Kenya - create a kitty, share a link and let everyone contribute, with a ledger everyone can see.

The brief
OneKitty handles real money for real groups - chamas, harambees, weddings, funerals. Trust is the product.
I’ve been on the frontend since 2023 with the Techliana team, through the move to a new codebase in 2025.
What I did
A short path from a shared link to a confirmed contribution, for members who may never have used the platform before.
Creation and management flows for each kind of group, with the balances and transactions members need to trust it.
Worked on the platform from the 2023 site through its 2025 rebuild on a newer Next.js stack with next-intl.
