This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition
What I Built
Karibu Give (Swahili for Welcome, Give) is a USSD micro-donation platform that works on a kabambe phone(feature phone) with no data, no app, no account , just a phone number and a mobile-money PIN. Built for the International Day of Charity.
Two things stop generosity from scaling in Kenya and across Africa:
You need a smartphone to give. Most donation platforms are web-forms that assume Chrome, data bundles, and card rails. 40% of Kenyan adults still use feature phones.
