Guide

Raise money from family and friends abroad

Collect contributions from relatives in the UK, US, Europe and the Gulf for a cause in Uganda. They give by card; you receive on MTN MoMo or Airtel Money.

Many Ugandan families have relatives working in the UK, the US, Europe or the Gulf who want to help with a medical bill, school fees or a burial at home. Sending money one transfer at a time is slow and costly for everyone. A single campaign lets each of them give by card, and shows the whole family how much has come in.

Donors give by card from any country

Relatives abroad open your link and give by Visa or Mastercard. They get a receipt by email, and they can see the total rise as others give.

You receive on mobile money

Withdraw to your verified MTN MoMo or Airtel Money number. You do not need a foreign bank account or a money-transfer agent.

Keep everyone updated

Post updates on the campaign page as treatment progresses or fees are paid. Donors who can see where the money went are more likely to give again and to share your link.
