How Sabi Works
Sabi is a shared workspace for organisations and communities managing projects, contributions, and progress together — with updates, activity, and outcomes connected in one timeline.
1. Organisations & roles
Every organisation on Sabi has different people contributing to the work.
Member
Follow projects and updates.
Leader
Manage an organisation.
Partner
Contribute to delivery.
Individual
Manage personal projects. If you're using Sabi individually, your account acts as both the organisation and the project owner.
2. Projects & timelines
Projects are where work, updates, and activity come together.
Each project can include:
- Goals and descriptions
- Budgets and allocations
- Milestones and timelines
- Assigned partners (vendors)
- Progress updates and supporting proof
Every update — from spending to milestones and feedback — stays connected in a continuous timeline so progress remains visible over time.
3. Contributions & fundraising
Sabi helps organisations raise and manage shared contributions transparently.
Organisations can:
- Create contribution drives
- Share payment details or payment links
- Track incoming contributions
- Publish updates linked to the goal or project
Public drives can be shared openly, while private drives stay visible only to approved members.
4. Visibility & access
Organisations control who can access projects and activity.
They can:
- Create public or private spaces
- Approve or reject access requests
- Use access codes for member-only organisations
- Switch easily between multiple organisations
When a project or organisation becomes private, public access is gradually removed and restricted to approved members.
5. Public & private projects
Sabi supports different visibility modes depending on the type of work being managed.
Public
Visible to anyone following the project or contribution drive.
Private
Restricted to approved members inside the organisation.
This allows organisations to decide what should stay open, collaborative, or internal.
6. Activity, updates & records
Sabi keeps project activity organised in one place.
Updates can include:
- Progress reports
- Milestones completed
- Images and supporting documents
- Budget activity
- Contribution updates
- Community feedback
Instead of scattered chats and spreadsheets, everything stays connected to the project timeline.
7. Feed & discovery
Sabi helps people stay informed across the organisations and projects they follow.
Users can:
- Browse public projects
- Explore contribution drives
- Follow updates from organisations
- Request access to private communities
- Discover new initiatives through the public directory
Partnerships and collaborations are managed through organisation connections and shared project activity.
