SwalaSMS
Fee reminders
Notify parents ahead of a term's payment deadline, and again for anyone still outstanding, without a phone call to every household.
Schools
Bulk SMS for schools in Tanzania
Reach every parent, not just the ones on WhatsApp. SMS works on any phone, so fee reminders and emergency notices actually get read.
What schools use it for
Student announcements
Send exam schedules, timetable changes and results-day notices to the whole school or a single class group.
Emergency notices
Closures, weather disruption or safety alerts reach parents in minutes, on a channel that doesn't need an app or data bundle.
Group by class or stream
Import your parent contact list once, group it by class or stream, and message any subset without re-typing numbers.
Scheduled sending
Queue a term's worth of reminders in advance and let them go out on the dates you set.
Your school's name as the sender
Messages arrive under your school's registered sender ID, not an unfamiliar number parents might ignore.
Send your first notice to parents
Create an account, import your parent contacts, and send a test announcement before rolling it out to the whole school.
