What is the goal list?
Your goal list is the screen inside KiddyCash that shows every savings goal connected to your account in one place. A savings goal is a target you set — for example, saving KES 2,000 for a new football or KES 500 for a school trip in Nairobi. Before you decide where to add more money, it helps to see all your goals together so you know which ones still need saving and which ones are already complete.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- A KiddyCash account (your own kiddy account or a kiddy business account)
- At least one savings goal already created — if you have not created one yet, follow the steps in How to create a savings goal for a child first
- The KiddyCash app open and your account logged in
How to view your goal list
- Open the KiddyCash app on your phone or tablet.
- Tap the Goals section in the bottom navigation bar. The icon looks like a small flag or target.
- You will land directly on your goal list at https://kiddy.cash/kiddy/goal. This page loads all the savings goals linked to your kiddy account or kiddy business account.
- Scroll through the list to see every goal. Each goal shows a name, a progress bar, and the amount saved so far compared to the total target.
That is it — no extra steps needed. The list loads automatically.
What you see on the goal list
Each goal card on the list contains the following information:
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Goal name | The label you gave the goal, for example “New trainers” |
| Target amount | The total you are trying to save, shown in KES |
| Amount saved | How much has been added to this goal so far |
| Progress bar | A visual bar showing how close you are to the target |
| Status | Whether the goal is active (still saving) or complete (target reached) |
Reading your goal list
- Active goals appear at the top. These are goals where you have not yet reached the target amount.
- Completed goals appear lower in the list with a badge or tick to show the target was met.
- If you have many goals, scroll down — the list does not cut off after a few entries.
To see the full details of any single goal, including the transaction history and how money was added, tap on that goal card. You can find a full walkthrough in How to view a child savings goal.
Why reviewing your goals matters
Checking your goal list regularly is a good habit. When you see all your goals at once, you can decide which goal needs money most urgently — whether that is saving for a school item, a treat, or an emergency fund. This is the same thinking that families use when they plan their household spending. If you want to understand more about that kind of planning, the article Why the family budget is your most powerful financial teaching tool explains the idea simply, and How to run a simple family budget kids can see and learn from shows a practical example you can follow with your family.
Tip
If a goal is no longer relevant — for example, the school trip was cancelled — ask a parent or guardian to archive or delete it so your list stays clean and easy to read.
