Five minutes to raise. Minutes to give.
Turikumwe is a crowdfunding platform built mobile-money-first for Rwanda — plus a card checkout the diaspora actually wants to use. Here's every step, from the campaign's first photo to the moment money lands on someone's phone.
For campaigners
Raise funds in three steps.
Start your campaign
Five minutes on your phone. Add a title, tell the story, pick a goal, attach a photo. We'll check it the same day — medical and education campaigns can upload a hospital letter or school invoice to speed things up.
Share to your network
One tap generates a WhatsApp-ready link plus a Kinyarwanda + English share card. Send to family, church, colleagues, alumni group — anywhere you'd normally ask. Every donation auto-notifies you and thanks the donor.
Receive funds to MoMo
Withdraw to your MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money account in minutes. Bank transfer is available for larger amounts. For medical campaigns, funds can route directly to the hospital under the patient's file — no cash passes through your hands.
For donors
Give with the payment method you already use.
Find a campaign
Browse by category, or follow a link from WhatsApp. Every campaign shows the goal, how much is raised, what the money is for, and updates from the campaigner.
Pick how you pay
In Rwanda: MTN MoMo (USSD push to your phone), Airtel Money, or bank transfer. From abroad: Visa, Mastercard, or Amex in USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD.
Get updates
Every campaign you support sends you updates when it hits milestones, closes, or publishes proof of where the funds went. Turn off emails anytime.
For the diaspora
Send from Brussels, London, Boston — arrive on MoMo in minutes.
Pay with a card in your local currency. We show the mid-market exchange rate before you confirm — no hidden spread, no 10% Western Union markup. The recipient's MoMo account is credited within minutes, not days.
Pick the campaign
Find your family's campaign, or a verified medical or school campaign to support.
Pay with card
USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD. Stripe handles the card; we show you exactly what the recipient will see in RWF.
Recipient gets MoMo notification
Typical settlement is 2–6 minutes. You get an email receipt; they get a text from MTN.

Medical campaigns
Funds go direct to the hospital.
When a campaign is for a medical emergency, you can route disbursement straight to the hospital under the patient's file reference. The campaigner never touches the money — removing the biggest fraud risk in online giving, and making your donation easier for skeptical relatives to trust.
Participating partners include CHUK, King Faisal, Butaro, and private clinics across Kigali.
