Mobile money operator, Paga, has launched an online donation platform called Donate.ng. Donate.ng is a fundraising and empowerment platform for charitable organizations who are helping the less privileged in our communities. With Donate.ng, organizations raise awareness and access financial support from donors both locally and abroad.
According to Folakemi Falodun, General Manager, Digital Financial Services at Paga, “We want to foster a world where living is giving. At Paga, we value giving back to the societies we operate in and through Donate.ng, we want to make a difference by creating a platform where more people can lend a hand easily.”
Donate.ng launched with three causes targeting the COVID-19 pandemic. These causes include:
- Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) set up to train and equip 500 Health Workers to Fight COVID-19;
- KINABUTI: Orile Food Aid – set up to help raise ₦1,830,000 to sustain 610 families;
- FLYING DOCTORS NIGERIA: set up to help build more Mobile Testing Booths for COVID-19
Falodun adds that “Paga will ensure that donations are securely made on Donate.ng using local or international cards, Paga wallet or bank transfers. During this pandemic, Paga will be supporting each organisation on the platform by donating an additional 10% of every amount donated to each course. In addition, to ensure that the donations go to those that need it the most, Paga will process all donations free of charge”.
