Collect funeral contributions online
Losing someone is hard enough. Instead of chasing contributions across many WhatsApp groups and numbers, share one link and see every contribution in one place.
- Free to start. Zanja keeps 5% of each donation and nothing else.
- Supporters give with Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Zamtel Kwacha, Visa and Mastercard.
- Cash out to mobile money or a Zambian bank account (minimum K50).
Why use Zanja for funeral contributions
Everyone gives through the same link, contributions are recorded with names and messages, and relatives abroad can give by card. The family sees the total at any time, which avoids confusion about who gave what.
Setting it up
Start a campaign “For someone else” in the name of the family, set the estimated funeral costs (coffin, transport, food, burial), and share the link in family and workplace groups. You can download the list of contributors to thank them afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see who contributed?
Yes. Your dashboard shows each contributor’s name, amount and message (unless they chose to give anonymously), and you can download the list.
Is it free to start a fundraiser on Zanja?
Yes. Creating a campaign is free. Zanja keeps 5% of each donation to cover payment processing and running the platform. There are no monthly fees.
How can people in Zambia donate?
Supporters pay with Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Zamtel Kwacha, Visa and Mastercard. They do not need a Zanja account, and mobile money payments are approved on their phone with their PIN.
Can people outside Zambia donate?
Yes. Friends and family abroad can give with a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card.
How do I receive the money?
Donations go into your Zanja balance. From your dashboard you cash out to your Airtel, MTN or Zamtel mobile money number or to a Zambian bank account. The minimum cashout is K50. Cashouts are checked and usually sent within one working day.
How does Zanja protect donors?
Every payment is confirmed with the payment processor before it counts. Donors get an email receipt, campaigns show how the money will be used, and Zanja may ask fundraisers for proof such as a medical report or invoice before paying out.
