Mayekoo the Pan-African fundraising crew shaking up grassroots change just kicked off a killer Matching Donation Campaign, and trust me, it’s a big deal for anyone hustling for social good across Africa.
Here’s the scoop: From June 23 till September 15, 2025, every dollar you donate gets doubled. Yup, you heard me. They’re putting $10,000 on the table (about 100K Ghanaian cedis, not pocket change!) and it’s all first come, first serve. You snooze, you lose.
“Mayekoo” literally means “Well done” where we’re from. According to Rashidatu, their official hypewoman, this whole campaign is about giving Africa’s frontline heroes the fuel to work twice as fast. “We want every organization no matter if they’re in Nairobi or the backroads of Ghana to get a shot,” Rashidatu said. Love that energy.
Who’s in? Any African group already raising funds on Mayekoo, plus any new NGOs or community collectives that hop on and launch campaigns during the promo window. Sanitation, solar, feeding programs, education you name it. Mayekoo’s like the Avengers for local impact, turning small wins into big headline-grabbers.
Take the Central Region of Ghana, for example. The Amazing Girls Foundation is out here using Mayekoo to get cash for free sanitary pads for school girls—direct hit against period poverty, which, by the way, is a real jerk for keeping girls out of school. Now, with this matching gig, every cedi or dollar does double duty. That’s some real multiplier magic.
Here’s the lowdown (in human-speak):
- When? June 23 – September 15, 2025
- What? Every donation matched 1:1
- Total matching pool? $10,000 USD (~100,000 GHS) until it’s gone
- Who? Any African org on Mayekoo, plus fresh faces who launch during the campaign
- What to do? Fire up a campaign on www.mayekoo.com and rally your people, fast
Heads up: This is not the time to drag your feet. The match pool’s limited, and once it’s gone, that’s it. The quicker your campaign blows up, the more you score.
If you’re running a campaign, don’t forget to slap #MayekooImpact on your posts. The more noise you make, the more donors come running.
A bit about Mayekoo: The name’s ripped from the Ghanaian “Mi ma mo ayekoo” which, yeah, means “Well done.” They’re all about connecting real, vetted non-profits to global donors, cutting through the usual nonsense, and just getting cash where it’s needed. Education, healthcare, green projects you name it, they’ll back it. The whole thing’s about honesty, killer stories, and direct help.

Mayekoo: Well Done. Well Deserved. Well Funded. (Honestly, that tagline kinda slaps.)
