Urgent help for a family that lost its breadwinner.

When the person who paid the rent and school fees dies, the family loses its income and faces burial costs at the same time. Widows and children are often left to sort out food, rent and fees in the same month. AbegNa lets you ask for the most urgent piece first, from ₦2,000 to ₦100,000, and come back as other needs arise.

Questions about a family that lost its breadwinner

What costs does a family face after the breadwinner dies?

Usually burial, rent, school fees and daily food at once. Together this can pass ₦1,000,000, so families ask for help one piece at a time.

Can we claim the deceased’s pension?

Under the Contributory Pension Scheme, named beneficiaries or next of kin can apply to the Pension Fund Administrator. They will ask for documents such as a death certificate and letters of administration.

Can I post more than one need on AbegNa?

Yes. You can post a new need for each urgent cost, such as rent or school fees, as it comes up.

Is it a loan?

No. What you receive on AbegNa is a gift. There is no interest and nothing to pay back.
