You can raise funds for yourself or for a beneficiary, organization and community. While creating the campaign, you can indicate that you are raising funds on behalf of a beneficiary and indicate the name of the beneficiary.
- Who can withdraw campaign funds?
The one who creates a campaign via their account is the only one who can withdraw funds for the campaign. It is important that you keep your account details such as your password confidential.
- How do I receive the funds raised?
When you are ready to withdraw the funds raised from your campaign, you use the withdraw button located on the project page on your user dashboard. Here, you can indicate how much you want to withdraw and how you want to receive the money. This can be via Bank transfer or through Mobile Money/Orange Money.
