How it works

Nunua Chai is a platform that allows content creators to receive donations from their audience, with supporters essentially "buying them a coffee" to show appreciation for their work. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Purpose:
    It's a way for creators to monetize their content and receive financial support from their audience in a casual and easy-to-use manner. 
  • How it works:
    • Content Creators: Creators create a profile on the platform and set up a "Nunua Chai" page, which they can then share with their audience. 
    • Supporters: Supporters can visit the creator's page and donate any amount they choose, often referred to as "kuwanunulia chai". 
    • Payment Processing: The platform processes the payments and transfers the funds to the creator's account, typically through MPESA. 
  • Features:
    • Donations: Supporters can make one-time donations. 
    • Memberships: Creators can offer exclusive content or perks to members who subscribe on a recurring basis. 
    • Shop: Creators can sell digital products or merchandise through the platform. 
    • Wishlist: Creators can create a wishlist of items they need for their work, and supporters can contribute to crowdfund them. 
    • Commissions: Creators can offer their services as a freelancer. 
  • Fees:
    Nunua Chai takes a small percentage (10%) from each transaction, with the creator receiving the remaining 90%. The supporter isn't charged payment processing fee, also we don't charge creators withdrawal fee.
