# Tija Kids > A free pocket money and chore app for kids, built in Nairobi for Kenyan families. Tija Kids helps parents teach children responsibility and financial literacy through gamified tasks, virtual rewards (TijaBucks), and savings goals. Perfect for families with nannies, co-parents, and multiple children. ## About Us Tija Kids was founded in 2023 by a tech founder and parent who built the app to help his 8-year-old son develop better routines and understand money management. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Tija Kids serves families across Kenya and East Africa. The app bridges the gap between traditional chore charts and modern digital parenting tools, making it easy for parents, co-parents, nannies, and guardians to coordinate on children's tasks and rewards in real-time. ## Pricing - **Free**: Tija Kids is 100% free for every family. There is no subscription, no trial period, and no in-app purchases. All features are included at no cost — unlimited children, multi-parent coordination, photo proof tasks, savings goals, and the badge system. ## How It Works 1. **Parents Create Tasks**: Set up daily routines like "Brush Teeth," "Make Bed," or custom tasks with icons or photos. Assign TijaBucks rewards (virtual currency). 2. **Children Complete Tasks**: Kids log in with a 6-digit PIN, see their task list, complete tasks, and upload photo proof if required. 3. **Parents Approve & Reward**: Parents or co-parents approve completed tasks. TijaBucks are automatically added to the child's virtual wallet. 4. **Children Redeem Rewards**: Kids browse the family rewards catalog (screen time, treats, toys) and request redemptions using their TijaBucks balance. 5. **Financial Literacy**: Children set savings goals, track progress, and learn money management through the "Save Bucks" feature. ## Key Features - **Gamified Task Management**: Visual icons, emojis, and progress tracking make chores fun for kids aged 4-12 - **TijaBucks Virtual Currency**: Children earn coins for completed tasks and learn to save and spend wisely - **Multi-Parent Coordination**: Co-parents, grandparents, and nannies can all access the same household in real-time - **Photo Proof**: Require photo evidence for task completion to ensure accountability - **Savings Goals**: Children create goals, allocate TijaBucks, and track progress toward rewards - **Badge System**: Gamification through achievements and milestones - **Real-Time Sync**: All devices sync instantly so everyone stays coordinated - **Custom Rewards Catalog**: Parents create household-specific rewards with custom TijaBucks costs ## Target Audience - **Primary**: Parents with children aged 4-12 in Kenya and East Africa - **Secondary**: Co-parents managing children across separate homes - **Tertiary**: Families with nannies or guardians who need coordination tools ## Use Cases - **Single Parents**: Manage children's routines and teach financial literacy - **Co-Parents**: Coordinate tasks and rewards across two households with real-time sync - **Families with Nannies**: Give nannies task approval access while parents maintain control - **Large Families**: Manage unlimited children with individual profiles and rewards - **Financial Education**: Teach children aged 4-12 about earning, saving, and spending money ## Key Pages - [Homepage](https://tija.kids/): Main landing page with app download links - [Contact](https://tija.kids/contact): Customer support and inquiries - [Privacy Policy](https://tija.kids/privacy-policy): How children's and parents' data is collected, used and protected - [Terms & Conditions](https://tija.kids/terms-and-conditions): Service terms - [Free Tools](https://tija.kids/tools): Pocket money calculator, savings goal calculator, a printable chore-and-reward chart and a holiday outing planner, localised for KES, Naira, TZS and UGX (see the "Free Tools" section below) - [Parenting & Money Guides](https://tija.kids/guides): In-depth guides for parents on pocket money, chores, saving and financial literacy (see the "Guides" section below) - [Things to Do With Kids in Kenya](https://tija.kids/things-to-do-with-kids): Curated directory of 96 family-friendly places and activities across Nairobi, the coast, the Rift Valley, western Kenya and the major parks — museums, wildlife parks, beaches, nature trails and play spots, filterable by city and type.

Kenyan rule of thumb at a standard budget: about KES 20–50 per year of age per week (a 10-year-old: about KES 200–500 per week). Optional hybrid split: a small base allowance plus extra earned from chores. Includes the full by-age table in the chosen currency. - [Savings Goal Calculator](https://tija.kids/tools/savings-goal-calculator): Works out how long a goal will take from price, weekly saving and amount already saved. Formula: (goal price − already saved) ÷ weekly saving. Example: a KES 8,000 bike with KES 2,000 saved and KES 300 a week takes 20 weeks. First-goal advice: pick something the child wants and can reach in 4–8 weeks. - [Holiday Outing Planner](https://tija.kids/tools/holiday-planner): Picks school-holiday outings in Kenya from the 96-venue list by area (or current location), children's ages, indoor or outdoor and a total KES gate-fee budget split across outings, and works out how much each child should save weekly for outing spending money. Price bands per person at the child citizen rate: free, under KES 500, KES 500-1,500, over KES 1,500 (estimates; check the gate). 2026 December holiday: 26 Oct 2026 to 1 Jan 2027. The page also registers a WebMCP tool, plan_holiday_outings, for browser AI agents. - [Chore & Reward Chart Maker](https://tija.kids/tools/chore-chart): Pick chores, set a money reward for each, and download a free A4 landscape PDF with picture icons. Age-appropriate examples: 4–6 tidy toys, make the bed, feed pets; 7–10 wash dishes, sweep, take out rubbish; 11+ laundry, clean rooms, run errands. Many families keep some chores unpaid as part of being family and pay for extra effort. ## Guides Parent-facing guides on kids, money, chores and routines.
