Fundraising questions

Who can start a fundraiser?
Any adult with a Kenyan ID and an M-PESA line, or a registered church, school, group or charity.
Is giving live yet?
Not yet. Giving is in test mode while we finish setting up with our licensed partner: no real money moves yet. You can register and get checked now, and we'll tell you before real giving opens.
How will I take the money out?
Withdrawals open when real giving does. Money goes only to the account we verified: yours, the hospital's or the school's. If you added a treasurer, they approve each withdrawal by SMS code.
Can givers stay anonymous?
Yes. They choose when they give. The organiser still sees the total, never the giver's full phone number.
What if a fundraiser is fake?
Tap "Report this fundraiser" on its page. A person checks it, and withdrawals are paused while we do. Fake fundraisers are closed and givers are refunded.
What does it cost?
It's free to register. We'll publish the fee on this page before real giving opens.
