A platform · not a brand

We’re the people you callwhen something happens.

Habeshafundme is a nonprofit fundraising platform built specifically for the Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora. We don’t take a cut. We don’t require fluent English to start. We don’t make your relatives feel like a Kickstarter project.

Eight years of helping cousins, classmates, and church friends raise what they need — without losing 8% to a stranger.

How it works · three steps

From draft to depositin under a week.

We’re a nonprofit. Our team has personally helped hundreds of campaigns through the steps below — by phone, in Amharic, on weekends. If something is unclear, we will sit with you until it isn’t.

  1. 01

    Tell the story

    A draft, in your own voice. Write in Amharic, Tigrinya, or English — the form helps the rest along.

    no review queue · publish on save

  2. 02

    Share with your circle

    Most fundraisers reach the bulk of their goal from the first 24 hours of WhatsApp shares. We give you a one-tap share link, a printable QR for in-person, and a private donor wall the family can read together.
