1
Be invited, or be accepted
A relative in Uganda opens the Ekika, the family circle, to you, or you ask and an elder accepts. There is no public search of families.
Diaspora
Close to the garden, even from far away
You can follow the family shamba and help with seed and tools. An elder still decides who belongs. Cash is not sent into a chat.
2
See only what the circle shares
Stories, the Olulyo, and the shamba are visible as far as that family allows. You do not arrive with a right to everything.
3
Sponsor inputs, not cash
Seed, tools, or other agreed inputs are bought and delivered. Money is not dropped into a chat. You should be able to see what was asked for, and what arrived, once delivery records are on.
4
Stop when you want
Leave the circle, or stop a sponsorship, without an argument in the app. The family in Uganda keeps what was already theirs.
The safe way
- An elder confirms who belongs in the circle.
- Find my kin is a different choice, and it stays off until that elder opts in.
- Children are never the account, the sponsor, or a profile.
- Your details follow the same privacy notice as a farmer in the district.
