How it works

From a home's story to a child's next school term.

  1. Orphanages register

    A home creates its profile, adds its official registration number and uploads its documents.

  2. Our team verifies

    We review every application and ask for more information when something is missing.

  3. Donors and partners give

    Approved supporters browse verified homes and pledge to the needs that matter to them.

  4. Everyone stays in touch

    Built-in messages connect homes with their supporters, with the team looking after safety.

See the full process

Trust and safety

Careful at every step, because children come first.

Giving should feel safe, and running a children's home should not mean exposing the children. We built the platform around that.

Documents are checked

Orphanages share their registration number and certificates. Our team reviews them before anything goes public.

Everyone is approved

Donors are approved and partners are verified before they can browse homes or send messages.

Conversations are looked after

The team can read direct chats between homes and supporters and step in when needed.

Progress is visible

Every need shows how much has been pledged against its goal.

Any officially registered children's home in Cameroon can join, in any region. The platform is built around how people here live and give.

English and French

Orphanages can tell their story in English or in French.

Mobile money friendly

Donors can note MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money as their preferred way to give.

Local by design

Homes are listed by town and region, so supporters can find the community they care about.

Everyday life

Children's homes are part of their communities.

Behind every profile is a place where people get up early, cook, fetch water, study and play.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

Is it free to join?

Yes. Creating an account as a donor, orphanage or partner costs nothing.

Does money pass through this website?

Not yet. A pledge is a promise recorded against a specific need, so the orphanage and our team can see support building up. You and the orphanage can then agree how the gift is sent using the built-in messages, and the team is there to help.

How do you know an orphanage is genuine?

Every orphanage must give its official registration number and upload verification documents. Our team reviews them, and may ask for more information, before the orphanage appears to donors.

Why does my donor account need approval?

To keep children’s homes safe. Only accounts our team has reviewed can browse orphanage profiles and message them.
