Food, rent, baby essentials, transport to a clinic. When a naira has to stretch across all of that, small gifts add up fast. You can see the family and the exact ask before giving anything.

Questions from givers
How do I give to a Nigerian families on AbegNa?
Pick a real request and give what you can through Paystack. AbegNa takes 0% commission. The person pays a flat ₦100 when they withdraw. AbegNa is launching soon, so join the waitlist to hear the day it opens.
How do I know the money reaches the person and not AbegNa?
Money only goes to the person's own bank account. Before any withdrawal they must pass a BVN or NIN check and a live selfie.
Is this tax deductible?
No. AbegNa is not a registered charity. Gifts on AbegNa go from person to person. If you need a charity receipt, give to a registered NGO instead.
What if a request is fake?
Anyone can report a request, and reported requests are frozen. If fraud is found before withdrawal, every giver is refunded.
Can I give anonymously?
Yes. You can choose to give anonymously, so your name does not show on the request.
Why not use GoFundMe for Nigerian causes?
GoFundMe does not pay out to Nigerian bank accounts. AbegNa works in naira and pays out to Nigerian banks.
