Extended Description (100 words)

The NjangiBase is a member-driven digital solidarity platform serving the Cameroonian diaspora. Founded in 2025 by the NjangiBase community and launching January 2027, the NjangiBase connects members from all 10 regions of Cameroon across 45+ countries.

Unlike traditional insurance, the NjangiBase operates on a crowdfunding mutual aid model rooted in the centuries-old tradition of “njangi” — rotating savings and support circles. A three-zone economic system adjusts contributions by members' economic realities: 100% in high-income countries, 50% in emerging economies, and 25% in homeland Cameroon.

The NjangiBase supports four campaign types: death and repatriation, medical emergencies, scholarships, and disaster relief. The platform accepts 10 currencies and offers multiple disbursement methods including bank transfer, mobile money, PayPal, and cash pickup.
