AITON International

Membership  Those of us belonging to the Kenyan Diaspora who choose to cushion herself/himself within the group for eventual financial assistance as a consequence of bereavement has the responsibility to read these bylaws, accepting the creed, then joining the AITON Group. All members will join as individuals, and each one will be accorded equal benefits in the event of the loss of a loved one, except in a few special circumstances.  In situations where members of the same family individually join AITON; two or more siblings, OR a parent and a child, the following will happen if such combinations lose a qualifying loved one for whom they are equally responsible for. Those relatives of the deceased person will receive contributions from each member of the Group prorated at one-and-a-half times the normal entitled amount. Thus, each member will contribute $30.00.  Qualifying family members for whom AITON members will contribute to in the event of their demise will include ONLY immediate family members: mother, father, brother, sister, and child.  Each member will submit a list of qualifying family members to the secretary at the time of joining AITON Group; the names will be logged in the official AITON Group database, against which cross-checking will be done in times of death, prior to a request being sent to members to commence contributions.  New members will be eligible for ALL membership benefits four (4) weeks from the day they join. The four weeks countdown begins the day the membership application form has been filled, signed, sent, and received by the secretary. Bereavement: When a member loses a qualifying loved one:  Each member will provide to the secretary, the name of the deceased, date of death, place where the deceased hails from, the name and location of the morgue, and the death certificate. This information will always be needed for verification purposes.  Since contributions will be sent direct to the recipient, recipient, and contributing member, will notify the treasurer of all the contributions, and treasurer will update the register as necessary. Contributions: (I) Once the announcement is posted on the forum to submit contributions when a member has lost a loved one, each member has a maximum of one week (7 days) to remit their contributions.  Contributions will be sent direct to the recipient (the bereaved), whose responsibility it will be, together with the contributing member, to notify the treasurer in a timely manner, of all the contributions, and the treasurer will update the register as necessary.  Contributing members must notify the recipient of their correct names and ID number at the time when they are sending their contributions. This is especially important for those of us who may use different names than their real names on CashApp or Zelle profiles, for proper crediting. (II). Failure of any member to remit contributions within 7 days, they will be put on a 90-day probation period during which time they will not be eligible for AITON Group benefits. They will be required to continue to contribute while on probation, but will not receive any benefits. (III). Contributions will be sent direct to the bereaved member or designated Individual by the member, through CashApp or Zelle. (IV). Each member will contribute a set amount of $20 when a member loses a loved one, except for when two siblings, or parent/child team in the group lose a sibling/parent, or any other qualifying family member, then each member will contribute $30.
