About Kawu

Kawu is a Kampala-based fintech company building a neobank for students in African schools. It aims to give young people tools to save and create digital financial records while simplifying how parents send money to children in school.

Parents send pocket money through the Kawu app or USSD, and students pay at school canteens with their fingerprint, check balances at school phone booths, save and earn interest, call family and learn financial literacy. The service removes the need for students to carry cash. Kawu lists a team of 2 to 10 people on LinkedIn.
