The real problem is trust
Parents just want to know:what's the balance, how's my child doing?
You can't hand every parent a login — and plenty of schools have no system to log into anyway. So parents call, they queue, and they guess. With Imara they simply text and see it for themselves. That's real transparency, without the extra work for your office.
No app, no login
Parents use the same phone they already text with. Nothing to download, nothing to remember.
Fees and grades together
Balance, payments, results and school news — all from a single number they save once.
System or no system
Have a school system? We connect to it. Don't have one? Update from a simple sheet we give you.
What every parent gets
Everything about their child,from one number.
No new portal to log into. Just the questions your office hears every single day — answered the moment a parent texts.
Pay by M-Pesa on the spot
When they're ready, they pay right there by M-Pesa and get the confirmation straight away. The balance updates on its own.
See grades on the phone
The day results are ready, each parent sees their own child's marks and position — sent to their phone, private to them.
Know their child reached school
A quick message goes to the parent if their child is marked absent, so nobody is left wondering where they are.
One message to every parent
Send fee reminders, meeting dates or closing-day notices to all parents at once — on the app they already check every day.
English or Kiswahili
Every parent is answered in the language they're comfortable with. Nobody is left confused, and nobody has to call to ask.
How it works
So simple, you could startthis term.
A parent texts your number
They save the school's number and send a message — or scan a small code printed on the fee slip. Nothing to download.
We check it's really them
They type the child's admission number and a short code we text to their phone. Only the real parent gets in — their details stay private.
They see everything
Fees, grades, attendance and school news — answered on the spot, any time of day. Your office only steps in when it's truly needed.
No school system? No problem. You update fees and results from a simple sheet we give you — parents still get everything on their phone.
For heads & bursars
More fees paid.Fewer calls to answer.
You get one simple screen. Send a message to every parent, watch the fees come in, and reply yourself whenever you want. That's it — no training, no thick manual.
See who has paid
Know exactly how much has come in and who still owes — without opening a ledger or waiting for the bank.
Message every parent at once
Send a fee reminder or a notice to all parents — or just one class — in a few seconds.
Jump in whenever you want
Anything the assistant can't handle comes straight to you, with the whole chat right there. You stay in control.
