CROWDFUNDING IN NIGERIA
Arguably, this concept has been around for years, but it is being recognized as a new industry to many in Nigeria. Crowdfunding is a method of donations where large group of people donate small amounts of money each for a particular cause/ project majorly via Internet and social networks. Crowdfunding is becoming a common financing method for citizen, entrepreneurs, activists, charities and so on. Online crowdfunding began in the late 1990s as a way for musicians and film-makers to raise money from fans.
Medical crowdfunding is an alternative method of raising funds for your expensive medical treatments. Treatments of many chronic, life threatening diseases like cancer, organ failure, post-accidental care, is extremely costly and not everybody has the financial power to take care of this, often the individuals die due to lack of funds.
There are cases where known stars promote medical fundraising campaigns, take for instance Ellen DeGeneres; she has promoted several campaigns, including one to cover expenses for the victim of a mountain biking accident which raised over $270,000 within a short period. Toyin Abraham also promoted the campaign of a cancer patient some years ago.
