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.
Our mission
To help organisations preserve the story of their work, strengthen public trust, and make accountability a continuous practice rather than a reporting exercise.

Create a shared project
Set up a workspace for an initiative, programme or community effort.

- 03
Keep progress visible
Your team, contributors and the public follow along, as much as you choose.
- 04
Share reports
Export structured reports built from what’s already recorded.
Organisations, people & access
Work happens inside an organisation, or in a personal space if you’re running something on your own. Everyone gets the access their role needs, and nothing more.
Leader
Creates the organisation, owns its settings and billing, and is accountable for outcomes.
Admin
Helps run the organisation: people, projects and day-to-day coordination.
Finance officer
Looks after budgets, contributions, wallets and payouts.
Partner
Delivers work on assigned projects and posts updates with proof.
Member
Follows projects, receives updates and takes part where invited.
Your own roles & teams
Create custom roles, group people into teams, and give access to the whole organisation or only specific projects.
Invite people by email or with a join link, approve requests to join, and change or remove access at any time from People & access.
Projects & the timeline
A project is where the work, the money and the proof come together. Everything posted to it is dated and stays in one continuous timeline.
- Goals, budget, dates and a clear status from planned to completed.
- Milestones that move progress as they’re completed, or a progress percentage you set yourself.
- Updates with photos, documents and links to your existing files.
- Comments, and an activity log showing who changed what, and when.
Tasks
Break delivery into clear pieces of work, and make sure each one is actually done.
- Assign work with due dates and a step-by-step checklist.
- Ask for photo or document evidence before work counts as done.
- Have someone review and approve it, or send it back with notes.
- Follow everything on a simple board, from to-do to done.
Programmes
Run training, cohorts or support schemes privately inside a project, with each participant’s work kept to themselves and the programme team.
- Write the steps once; each participant gets them as their own Tasks.
- Add people already in your organisation, or invite anyone by email.
- Start and end check-ins show how much participants have grown.
- Participants can ask for help, and managers see who’s on track at a glance.
Contributions, budgets & wallets
Raise and manage shared money in the open, with every naira connected to the work it supports.
- Contribution drives with a goal, a shareable page and live progress.
- Supporters pay online through our payment partner and get a receipt; they can give publicly or anonymously.
- Budgets by category, with spending tracked against what was planned.
- Project Wallets receive funds and pay out to your organisation’s verified bank account.
Sabi’s fees are shown openly on our pricing page. Payment-provider charges are always shown separately.
Visibility & privacy
You decide what the public sees and what stays inside your organisation.
- Public projects and drives can be found and followed by anyone.
- Private projects are visible only to the people you give access to.
- Choose which parts of a public project to show, such as updates, budget or files.
- Programmes are always private.
Reports
Reports are built from what’s already recorded, so nobody has to rebuild them from chats and spreadsheets.
- Project and contribution reports for any date range you choose.
- Download and share with donors, members or your board.
- Each plan includes a number of report exports each month.
Trust & verification
Accountability works best when people can check it for themselves.
- Organisations verify their registration documents before they can withdraw funds.
- A full audit trail of access changes, approvals and payouts.
- Members can rate projects on credibility, delivery and value for money.
Following & discovery
People can keep up with the work they care about, across every organisation they follow.
- Browse public projects and contribution drives without an account.
- Follow organisations and see their latest updates in one feed.
- Get notified about new updates, tasks and changes to your access.
- Request to join private organisations, and switch easily between the ones you belong to.
