When people think of fundraising, platforms like GoFundMe often come to mind. But for many Africans, GoFundMe isn’t always the right fit. From currency restrictions to cultural barriers, global platforms don’t fully address the unique realities of fundraising in Africa.
That’s why we created OwoHQ, a platform built by Africans, for Africans.
Unlike international platforms that treat Africa as an afterthought, OwoHQ understands the continent’s challenges and opportunities. We’ve designed our systems to work seamlessly with local currencies, communities, and needs.
While GoFundMe struggles with African currencies and requires VPNs to even open in some countries like Nigeria, OwoHQ is accessible without location limits. Whether you’re in Africa or the diaspora, our website (and soon-to-come mobile app) makes fundraising possible from anywhere.
We make it easy to:
•Support both local and international transactions.
•Access funds directly where they’re needed, without long delays.
•Run campaigns transparently with progress updates that build donor confidence.
One of Africa’s biggest fundraising challenges is trust. That’s why every OwoHQ campaign is structured for accountability and backed by secure transactions to protect both fundraisers and donors.
While GoFundMe focuses on a global audience, OwoHQ puts African causes first. From education to healthcare, small businesses to community projects. This makes us not just a platform, but a movement of support and impact.
At OwoHQ, we’re not just another fundraising site. We’re Africa’s own solution, combining local knowledge, transparency, and accessibility to make giving and receiving support easier than ever.
Start your campaign today with OwoHQ and be part of Africa’s fundraising revolution.
