- Mobile money through Hubtel and Paystack, including the popular Ghana networks.
You will be guided to a secure checkout. Ardent Africa never stores your card details.
Tips, fee cover, and dedications
- Tip: an optional amount that supports the platform. Tips are kept separate from the campaign total, so a campaign's progress reflects money raised for the cause itself.
- Fee cover: you can choose to cover the processing and platform fee so the campaign receives the full amount you intended.
- Dedication: dedicate your gift in honour or memory of someone, with an optional message.
After you donate
You will see a confirmation, and if you donated while signed in, the campaign appears in your activity. Campaign owners post updates as the cause progresses.
Where your money goes
For most campaigns, a small platform and processing fee applies. For Ardent Africa Foundation donations, there is no platform fee. See how funds work.
