How to donate with mobile money
Giving takes about a minute and you don’t need an account.
- 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).
Steps
1. Open the campaign and tap “Contribute” or “Give”.
2. Choose or type an amount (minimum K5) and, if you like, your name and a message.
3. Choose mobile money or card in the secure payment window.
4. For mobile money, approve the prompt on your phone with your PIN.
5. You’ll see a confirmation, and an email receipt if you entered your email.
If something goes wrong
If you approved the payment but closed the page, don’t pay again. Zanja checks with the payment processor automatically and confirms it. If no money left your account, nothing was charged. Contact support on WhatsApp if you need help.
