1. Get Hands-On: Start a Commitment Pool in Your Community

If you believe in the power of local economies, you can start a Commitment Pool in your own neighborhood, faith group, or bioregion.

How to Get Started:

1. Identify a Common Need – What are the shared resources and services in your community that could be pooled? Create your own voucher as your own offering of valueble services.
2. Gather a Trusted Group – Commitment pooling works best when participants trust each other and hold shared values. Help local services providers create their own vouchers.
3. Create a Pool on Sarafu.Network – Use digital tools to make commitments visible and and enable exchanges beteen vouchers in your community.
4. Engage in Rotational Labor & Shared Commitments – Like the ancient practice of Mweria, participants contribute labor and resources in cycles.
5. Iterate and Improve – Learn from ecosystems—observe, adjust, and evolve your commitment pooling practices.
