About Ubuntu Pool

Our Mission

Ubuntu Pool is an African fundraising platform built for Uganda, with plans for future expansion across the continent. Inspired by the reach of global platforms like GoFundMe, but designed from the ground up for African payments, verification workflows, and community-driven giving.

We exist to make it simple, safe, and dignified for anyone to raise money for the people and causes they care about — a child's school fees, a family facing a medical emergency, a community rebuilding after a flood, or a local team chasing a dream.

Why Ubuntu Pool?

Traditional fundraising platforms were never designed for Africa. They do not support mobile money, they struggle with local payment methods, and they lack the verification workflows needed to build trust in African communities. Ubuntu Pool changes that.

We believe that when people come together, extraordinary things happen. Every campaign on our platform represents a community rallying around a cause — and every shilling is accounted for.

Our Values

• Trust First — Every campaign is verified before funds are released. Our KYC process confirms organisers are who they say they are.
• African Payments — MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfers, all processed securely through Pesapal.
• Transparency — A double-entry ledger tracks every transaction, so donors can see exactly where their money goes.
• Community — Built on the Ubuntu philosophy: "I am because we are." Together, we grow.

How We're Different

Unlike global platforms that treat Africa as an afterthought, Ubuntu Pool is built for the African context first. Our verification workflows, payment rails, and support systems are designed for Uganda — with a local team you can actually reach by WhatsApp, phone, or email.

We charge a small, transparent fee on successful donations to cover payment processing and keep the platform running — and we back every donation with our Giving Guarantee against confirmed fraud.
