“Mwanzoni nilidhani Y-Ya itanigharimu pesa nyingi — lakini kuunda tukio ilikuwa bure. Walikusanya TZS 2.8M kwenye harusi yangu na ada yao ilikuwa ndogo sana ukilinganisha na urahisi walionipa.”
Amina J.
Bride, Dar es Salaam
“Kama MC ninafanya harusi kila Jumamosi. Nilijiunga Pro na sasa ninaokoa zaidi ya TZS 300,000 kwa mwezi kwa ada peke yake. Dashboard inanisaidia kuona historia ya matukio yote yangu.”
