The problem

Organizations can't reliably reach all their people.

Companies, schools, churches and cooperatives are still stuck with WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets, while event organizers juggle guest lists by phone call.

WhatsApp excludes people
Anyone without a smartphone or mobile data misses the message, silently. Rwanda's workforce is mixed, and a share of your people never see it.
No tracking, no structure
Messages get buried in busy group chats. There's no way to know who received it, who acted on it, or who to follow up with.
Manual and error-prone
No scheduling: someone has to remember to send. Lists live in spreadsheets that go out of date the moment they're saved.
One platform · Two use cases

SMS to everyone, for activities and events.

Banguka is the only platform in Rwanda that handles both ongoing organizational communications and one-off event RSVP & check-in, in a single product.

How it works

From first message to check-in, in four steps.

Banguka replaces the WhatsApp-groups-and-spreadsheets routine for both day-to-day activities and one-off events.

1
Create an activity or event
Start an activity with just a name for ongoing updates, or an event with a date and venue for RSVPs.
2
Add your people
Import members or guests from a CSV, or add them manually. Group them into categories.
3
Send or schedule SMS
Compose once, and each recipient gets a personal link or QR. Send now, or schedule it to go out automatically.
4
Track & check in
See delivery per person. For events, scan QR codes at the door, even without an internet connection.
