How to raise money from international donations for your fundraiser in Nigeria

What's the easiest way to raise money from donors all over the world? You'll probably say GoFundMe, but have you ever tried to set up a GoFundMe in Nigeria?

You'll quickly discover the platform doesn't support Nigeria. That means you'll have to find someone in one of the supported countries to set up the campaign and send the funds to you. That's risky!

Alternatively, you can ask your donors to go through lengthy money transfer processes.

However, between the currency conversion, multi-step bank transfers, manual transfers, and failed transactions, donors get discouraged. That's why you're getting fewer donations from your diasporan network.

What then is the best way to raise funds for your social impact or personal needs by leveraging your network of supporters in the diaspora?
