Why Real Helping Hands

Everything you need to raise money online

    Our team supports Jamaican campaigners and knows how fundraising works here – from church networks to WhatsApp groups.

  • Reach the diaspora

    Family and friends overseas can donate in a few clicks with a card or PayPal, wherever they live.

  • Get the money to you

    Withdraw to a bank account (we send bank transfers through Wise) or to PayPal, from your dashboard, once your identity is verified.

  • Reviewed and safe

    Every campaign is checked by our team and every campaigner verifies their identity before withdrawing, so donors can give with confidence.

Tips from our team

How to get more donations

  • Send your link to your closest 10–20 people on WhatsApp first – personal messages get the most donations.
  • Ask your church, school or workplace group to share it.
  • Tag relatives overseas: the diaspora often gives generously when they hear about a need back home.
  • Print your campaign’s QR code flyer for the shop, salon or church notice board.
