Jogajog in French: The Full Experience, from Paris to Dakar

The full Jogajog experience, now in French

From day one, Jogajog’s promise has fit in a single sentence: everyone in your organization, organized and reachable. Starting today, that promise speaks your language. The entire Jogajog experience — the directory, broadcasts, the Notice Board, Handbook pages, search, the admin console — is now available in French. Not a partial translation that gives up after the landing page: the complete experience, from the first screen to the last button.

Why French, and why now?

Because the French-speaking world is one of the densest associative fabrics on the planet. France alone counts more than 1.5 million active loi 1901 associations — the nonprofit backbone of French civic life: amicales (friendly societies), sports clubs, parent groups, alumni networks. Across West and Central Africa — from Dakar to Abidjan, Douala to Kinshasa — community life runs through parishes and mosques, tontines and community savings groups, chambers of commerce and professional associations. In between sits a vast diaspora keeping ties to the home village, the graduating class, the home parish. All of these structures share the same headache: member lists scattered across a notebook, three Excel files, and overflowing WhatsApp groups.

Built for your structures, not bolted onto them

Jogajog does not force a corporate org chart on you. Everything rests on organizational units you name freely: executive board, local chapters, graduating classes, committees, choirs, regional branches.

• Loi 1901 associations and amicales: an up-to-date directory, clear roles for the board and chapter leads, and one-click roster exports for the annual general meeting.
• Alumni networks: every graduating class becomes a Smart Audience — your broadcasts reach the class of 2010 without disturbing the class of 1985.
• Parishes and mosques: the week’s announcements go out as broadcasts with push notification, and the Notice Board keeps a record everyone can consult.
• Tontines and savings groups: who is current on dues, who needs a reminder — visible at a glance, without leafing through the treasurer’s notebook.
• Chambers of commerce: a member directory searchable by sector, role, or city that helps members find and reach one another.

Broadcasts you know were read

An announcement nobody reads might as well not exist. Every Jogajog broadcast goes out with a push notification and reports read receipts: you see who has read it, who has not, and you follow up with precisely the stragglers instead of resending the same message to everyone. Smart Audiences do the rest: static groups when the list is fixed, filter-based audiences that update themselves as it changes.

Designed for realities on the ground

Your members are not all office workers behind a computer. Jogajog is built for the mixed literacy levels of a real community: clean screens, obvious actions, one-tap calling straight from a member’s profile. The app runs as a lightweight PWA on modest Android phones and unreliable connections, with SMS and WhatsApp as fallbacks when mobile data runs short. And where money moves by mobile money — daily reality from Dakar to Douala — the Collections module ties dues to Smart Audiences: everyone knows what they owe, and the treasurer knows whom to remind.

Priced for association budgets

Until now the choice was harsh: English-only enterprise platforms billed per seat in dollars, or making do with Excel and WhatsApp. Jogajog opens a third way: a simple subscription sized to your membership, plus optional modules you add only if you need them. Importing your existing lists — Excel or CSV — is handled for you, with duplicate detection and phone-number normalization. Better still: send us your member list, we build your demo directory free of charge, and you approve it before launch.

Available today

French is live now for every organization, across the entire Jogajog experience. Whether you run an amicale in Lyon, an alumni association in Abidjan, a parish in Montreal, or a chamber of commerce in Dakar, your community can be organized, informed, and reachable — in French.

Your organization deserves a tool in its language: contact us for a free demo of your directory.
