What is different about running a school in Bomet
Bomet is tea country, in the West of Rift. For a large share of families here the household year has one date on it that matters more than any other: the annual bonus, which KTDA pays by the middle of October alongside the September green leaf payment.
That single date is worth more to a school than any number of reminder letters. It lands in the third term, right before the next year’s admissions and next year’s first term fees. A school that reaches a family in that window, with the exact figure that family owes, collects. A school that sends a general notice in January is asking for money that has already gone.
The problem is that most schools cannot act on it, because on the day the bonus lands they do not have an accurate per family figure. Assembling one takes a week, and by then it is spent.
Collecting when the money is actually there
Enaton keeps every family’s balance live, so a targeted reminder in the second week of October quotes the real outstanding amount for that learner on that day. Families who have already cleared are not messaged, which is what stops parents learning to ignore school SMS altogether.
It also works the other way. A family that pays a large amount in October should not be chased again in November, and here they are not, because the campaign keeps checking the balance rather than working from a list that was correct once.
The same logic applies to any dated income event in a farming county. The point is that the school can act on the date rather than react a month later.

Questions from Bomet schools
Can we send fee reminders to only the families who still owe?
Yes. Reminders target families by their live balance, so a family that cleared this morning is not messaged this afternoon, and a family that owes gets their own exact figure rather than a general appeal. Schools also set quiet hours so nothing goes out at night.
Can we time a fee campaign to a specific week?
Yes. A campaign runs over dates you choose and keeps checking who still owes for the whole time it is running, so the figures in it stay correct as payments come in during the week.
How quickly does a payment show against a learner?
Usually within about a minute of the parent paying, whether by M-Pesa or by bank. The balance moves at that point, so the next message and the next clearance card both use the new figure.
Does Enaton cost more for a rural school?
No. It is from as low as KES 4,060 a month anywhere in Kenya, never per learner, with no setup fee. Pricing does not vary by county or by the level of fees the school charges.
