Alumni association software built in Kenya

Why Kenyan alumni associations choose Alumnipad

Most alumni software is built for American universities and priced in dollars per seat. Kenyan associations run on WhatsApp groups, M-Pesa and committees of volunteers. Alumnipad is built for that reality by an African social enterprise founded in Kenya, and it is already used by associations such as the Old Starehian Society, Alumni Kenya and Precious Blood Riruta (see the case studies).

• A member database you control: let members update their own profiles, and find classmates by year, chapter or profession.
• Your own branded member site (paid plans): your name, crest, colours and photos on the sign-up and member pages, so members see your association, not ours.
• Events and ticketing: reunions, AGMs, homecomings and career days with RSVPs and tickets.
• Membership plans and dues: annual, life and friends-of-the-school plans, with reminders.
• Fundraising causes: scholarships, school projects and appeals, each with a target and progress.
• Elections, mentorship and opportunities: run committee elections online, match mentors and mentees, and post jobs and volunteer calls.
• Messages that reach people: bulk email, SMS and official WhatsApp messages from one place.

Frequently asked questions

Is Alumnipad made for Kenyan schools and universities?

Can we keep using our WhatsApp groups?

Yes. Most associations keep their WhatsApp groups for conversation and use Alumnipad for the member list, events, dues, causes and official announcements, including messages sent through the official WhatsApp Business Platform.

Is there a free plan?

Who owns our members' data?

Your association does. Each association’s data is kept separate from every other association on the platform, and on paid plans you can export your member list whenever you need it.
