Help a Nigerian pay a hospital bill.
Nigerians who cannot deposit the card fee at the hospital get turned away. The money you send goes straight to the person who posted the request. Not a charity, not us. AbegNa takes 0%.
What a gift can cover
Rough amounts at current Nigerian prices. The person decides how to spend the gift.

A ₦5,000 gift covers a typical malaria or typhoid treatment
A ₦10,000 gift covers a typical emergency-room deposit at a state hospital
A ₦20,000 gift covers one month of blood-pressure or diabetes medication

Questions from givers
How do I give to a Nigerian medical on AbegNa?
Pick a real request and give what you can through Paystack. AbegNa takes 0% commission. The person pays a flat ₦100 when they withdraw. AbegNa is launching soon, so join the waitlist to hear the day it opens.
How do I know the money reaches the person and not AbegNa?
Money only goes to the person's own bank account. Before any withdrawal they must pass a BVN or NIN check and a live selfie.
Is this tax deductible?
No. AbegNa is not a registered charity. Gifts on AbegNa go from person to person. If you need a charity receipt, give to a registered NGO instead.
What if a request is fake?
Anyone can report a request, and reported requests are frozen. If fraud is found before withdrawal, every giver is refunded.
Can I give anonymously?
Yes. You can choose to give anonymously, so your name does not show on the request.
Why not use GoFundMe for Nigerian causes?
GoFundMe does not pay out to Nigerian bank accounts. AbegNa works in naira and pays out to Nigerian banks.
