The National Information Technology Authority (NITA Uganda) has collaborated with the Prime Minister’s office and telecom giants MTN and Airtel to support all online COVID-19 response donations. The Authority aims to digitize the process with their e-payment gateway and make it very easy for every Uganda who is willing to donate to the vulnerable poor and the response teams. The system will ease crowdfunding efforts for the government and the populous which is currently stuck in lockdown.
To Donate follow the following steps;
Step 1: On your phone or PC, go to www.covid.pay.go.ug. NOTE: Some users are complaining the link is not currently working for them.
Step 2: Input the amount of money you want to donate
Step 3: You can make a payment of any desired amount using either Airtel Money or MTN Mobile Money. Unfortunately, there is no VISA or Mastercard payment options. Imagine how many Ugandans in diaspora who would wish to contribute to this but they don’t use Mobile Money.
