What is AbegNa?
Everything You Should Know
AbegNa is Nigeria's first micro-giving platform. It's a simple way for people to ask for small help (from ₦500 to ₦30,000) and for others to give — no shame, no commission, no debt.
Think of it like this: Someone needs ₦5,000 for transport to a job interview. Or ₦8,000 for their child's school fees before the deadline. Instead of sending 15 different WhatsApp messages and hoping someone replies, they create one request on AbegNa, share a link, and friends, family, or kind strangers can chip in — even ₦100 helps.
It's people pooling small amounts to help each other. No bank meetings. No loan apps. No interest. Just help.
Why AbegNa Works So Well
Most of the time, people don't need millions — they need a few thousand naira to get through the week. But traditional help (banks, loan apps, charities) isn't built for that. Banks want big loans. Loan apps charge high interest and call your contacts. Charities focus on big campaigns.
AbegNa fills the gap. It's built for small, urgent needs. You can create a request in under a minute, share it on WhatsApp or social media, and receive help from people who care. And because the amounts are small, more people can afford to give. ₦100 from 50 people = ₦5,000. That's the power of micro-giving.
Fast
Create a request in under a minute. No long forms.
Dignified
Asking for help is human. We don't shame you.
Community
Friends, family, and strangers who want to help.
Micro-Giving vs Big Crowdfunding
You might have heard of GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Those are great for raising large sums — medical bills abroad, business ideas, creative projects. AbegNa is different. We focus on micro-giving: small amounts (₦500–₦30,000) for everyday needs.
| Platform | Typical amount | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| AbegNa | ₦500 – ₦30,000 | School fees, rent, transport, food, small emergencies |
| GoFundMe | ₦100,000 – millions | Medical abroad, big campaigns, charities |
Both have their place. AbegNa is for the ₦5,000 you need before payday — fast, simple, and built for Nigeria.
How AbegNa Works
Getting started is simple. Here's the flow from signup to receiving help.
Sign up in under a minute
Download the app, enter your Nigerian phone number, verify with OTP, and add your name. No BVN or NIN at signup — we keep the barrier low so you can get started fast.
Create your request
Set how much you need (₦500–₦30,000), pick a category (school fees, medical, rent, food, etc.), and write a short story. Add a photo if you want. Your request goes live instantly.
Share your link
Share your unique request link on WhatsApp, Twitter, or wherever your network is. Friends and family can give from ₦100. Even strangers can help if they see your story.
Receive and withdraw
Donations come in real time. When you're ready to withdraw, we verify your identity (BVN or NIN) and bank account. Standard withdrawal is free (24–48 hours). Instant withdrawal costs ₦100.
For Givers: How to Help
Want to give instead of receive? Browse requests on AbegNa, pick someone to support, and give any amount from ₦100. Payments are powered by Paystack — secure and trusted. You can give anonymously or with your name. Every naira goes to the person in need. Zero commission.
Trust and safety
Receivers must verify with BVN or NIN before they can withdraw. That means real people, real bank accounts. We're not perfect, but we work hard to keep the platform safe for donors and receivers.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
We believe 100% of your donation should reach the person who needs it. So we don't take a cut. Here's how it works:
- 0% commission — when someone gives ₦1,000, you get ₦1,000
- Standard withdrawal — free, processed in 24–48 hours
- Instant withdrawal — ₦100 fee, money in minutes
- Boost (optional) — ₦200–500 to promote your request to more people
What AbegNa Is Not
To avoid confusion, here's what we're not:
Not A loan app
No interest. No repayment. No debt collectors. No calls to your contacts.
Not A charity platform
We're not for ₦5 million medical campaigns. We're for ₦5,000 to survive until payday.
Not Selling your data
We don't share or sell your information to advertisers or loan apps.
Tips for a Successful Request
A few things that help people get funded faster:
- 1.Be honest. People connect with real stories — not exaggerated ones.
- 2.Share your link widely. WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram — the more people who see it, the better.
- 3.Set a realistic amount. ₦10,000 from 20 people is easier than ₦200,000 from strangers.
- 4.Say thank you. A simple message to donors goes a long way — and often leads to more support later.
