Transforming Stokvels Nationwide with Digital Technology
At KasiConvocation, we believe that financial power should not be reserved for the wealthy – it begins with trust, community and shared goals. We exist to empower everyday people to build wealth together, by turning saving groups (stokvels) into powerful tools for financial freedom in the digital age.

We envision a future where township communities and everyday people can pool their resources, transparently manage group finances, and unlock life-changing goals from buying homes to starting businesses through a tech-driven platform that builds trust, automates accountability and rewards commitment.

Why We StartedKasiConvocation Objective
We believe in restoring trust, dignity and access in how people save together. KasiConvocation exists to make group saving safer, easier and more transparent especially for those left behind by traditional finance.
“Growing up, I watched stokvels struggle with trust issues, lost records and broken promises not because people didn’t want to save, but because they lacked the tools. Our mission is to modernize group saving without erasing its human roots. We want to protect a system that millions rely on, by giving it structure, visibility and dignity.” – Joankie Makwakwa, Co-Founder
When we help people save better together, we unlock financial power, social power and freedom. That’s why we built KasiConvocation. Every feature is designed to answer one question: “How do we make stokvels work better without making them feel foreign?”
