Giving That Reaches the Person, and Shows It
Standing with those who have the least.
The Michael Selby Foundation helps the needy, from the sick who cannot afford hospital care to people living with disability, with practical help given with dignity.
The Bottleneck
Giving to a cause in Ghana usually runs on a phone number and trust. Friends abroad can't pay by Mobile Money, gifts arrive in different currencies, people in need have no private way to ask, and donors rarely see what their money did.
What I Built
One site that takes gifts by Mobile Money or card in several currencies, confirms each one with the payment provider before it counts, lets anyone ask for help privately, and closes every story with an open account of the spending.
Donations
Mobile Money or card, from anywhereConfirmed Before It Counts
Pick an amount, choose Mobile Money or card, and the network is recognised from the number. The gift is recorded only after Paystack or pawaPay confirms it, and the receipt goes out by email. Totals are kept per currency, never mixed.
Donation form, desktop
Your gift pays a hospital bill or buys a wheelchair.
Give by Mobile Money or card, in cedis or your own currency. Every gift is confirmed with the payment provider before it counts, and you get a receipt by email.
We pay hospitals and suppliers directly wherever we can.
A Private Way to Ask for Help
Anyone can request support for themselves or someone else. The details stay in the admin: notification emails never carry a person's contact details or situation.
Request Support, phone
Request Support
Tell us what you need. Everything you share stays private.
Only the foundation sees your details. They are never shared or put in an email.
Stories With Open Accounts
A story is published only with the person's consent, and ends with where the money went, line by line. Receipts stay private in the admin.
