Guide

Crowdfunding in East Africa with mobile money

How to raise money online in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. Organisers in Uganda get paid on mobile money while donors anywhere give by card.

Across East Africa, people raise money the same way: a group of family, friends and colleagues each giving what they can. Mobile money made that easy inside one country. An online campaign extends it across borders, so a cousin in Nairobi or a classmate in Kigali can give to a cause in Uganda in minutes.

One link for every donor

Your campaign page works on any phone. Donors in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan and beyond give by card, and donors in Uganda give by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money.

Paid out where you live

Organisers in Uganda withdraw straight to mobile money after verifying their identity. Each withdrawal shows the fee before you confirm it, so you know what reaches your phone.

Clear fees in plain numbers

Donors see the exact total before they pay, and organisers see every fee on their dashboard. Nothing is hidden in a currency conversion.
