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 Lists live in spreadsheets that go out of date the moment they're saved.
Activities

Your group, one SMS away.

An activity is any group you keep informed: staff, a class and its parents, a choir, a congregation, a cooperative. Set it up once and reach everyone, or exactly the people you choose, whenever you need to.

Everything in one place

Built to reach people and get things done.

The tools you need to keep a group informed, day after day, and nothing you don't.

People, organized once
Save contact lists and shared categories, then reuse them in every activity. Import from CSV or your phone contacts, and give teammates the right access.
Contact lists · Categories
The right people, every time
Send to everyone, to a category, or to people you pick, and leave anyone out. A plain SMS works on any phone, with no app or data needed.
Targeted sends
Draft, schedule & automate
Save drafts, reuse templates and schedule broadcasts to auto-send. Push alerts keep you posted on balance and delivery.
Scheduled sends
Your name as the sender
Messages can arrive from your organization's own Sender ID instead of a generic one, so people know who's writing before they open it.

How it works

Your first update, in four steps.

Banguka replaces the WhatsApp-groups-and-spreadsheets routine for the groups you lead, with one-off events there when you need them.

1
Create an activity
Give it a name, like "Staff" or "Choir". Hosting a one-off gathering? Create an event instead, with RSVPs and QR check-in.
2
Add your members
Pick a saved contact list, import a CSV, or choose from your phone contacts. Group them into categories.
3
Send or schedule
Write once, choose who gets it, and send now or schedule it to go out on its own.
4
See who got it
Track delivery per person and follow up with anyone who missed it.
