What is different about running a school in Samburu
Conservancies, lodges and the tourism economy around them have created a band of formal, salaried employment in a county where most households still depend on livestock. Both groups send children to the same schools.
The two are not slightly different, they are opposite. One is paid a known amount on a known date every month. The other is paid an unknown amount on an unknown date, and in a bad year is not paid at all.
Two payment worlds, one ledger
Salaried families go onto instalments matched to a payday and require almost no attention afterwards. Livestock households go onto recorded arrangements with realistic dates, and are left alone while they keep to them.
Both are held per family and checked against the live balance, so the office ends up working a short exception list rather than treating the whole roll as one undifferentiated collection problem.
Boarding is common across the county, and stores, catering and procurement are configured alongside during setup.

Questions from Samburu schools
Can one school run both monthly instalments and irregular arrangements?
Yes. Fee structures support instalments and, separately, a payment arrangement can be recorded per family with its own dates and amounts. Both run at once and both are checked against the live balance.
What happens in a year when a family genuinely cannot pay?
Waivers and bursaries are proper records against the learner rather than a balance staff are told to ignore, so a supported learner shows as settled instead of appearing on an arrears list.
Do parents need data to use the parent portal?
The portal needs a connection, but the same information reaches a basic phone by SMS, including the family’s own balance and payment confirmations.
