Fundraising in Lira and Northern Uganda

Raise money online in Lira, Gulu, Kitgum, Apac and across Northern Uganda. Start a free campaign and receive donations on MTN MoMo or Airtel Money.

Families in Lira, Gulu, Kitgum, Apac, Alebtong, Dokolo and Oyam raise money together all the time: for hospital bills, school fees, burials and church projects. An online campaign puts that collection in one link, so relatives in Kampala and abroad can give as easily as neighbours in town.

Built for how the north already gives

Most contributions in Lango and Acholi come through mobile money and WhatsApp groups. Share your campaign link in the family or clan group, and each person gives by MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or card in a few taps.

Common causes we see

Medical bills at regional referral hospitals, school and university fees, funeral and burial costs, boreholes and church roofs, and seed capital for small businesses and farming groups.

Money reaches you on your phone

When donations come in, you withdraw to the MTN MoMo or Airtel Money number you have verified. There is no need for a bank account or a trip to Kampala.

Verified so people trust you

Every organiser verifies their identity before withdrawing. Donors outside the district can see that the campaign is real, which is why verified campaigns raise more.
