Get involved
There are four ways to help, and they are genuinely different in what they achieve. This page explains each one properly rather than pointing you at a button.
1. Give monthly
This is the most useful thing you can do, because a predictable monthly income is what lets us commit to clinics and plan new regions.
| Amounts | £5, £10, £15, £20, £25 or £30 a month |
|---|---|
| What £5 does | Covers one person's entire treatment in Nigeria, typically with change |
| What you receive | Each month, the first name, age and town of the person your money treated, and an itemised breakdown of what was paid for |
| Cancelling | Any time, from the app. No email required, no retention call |
How to start
- The app. Search Dogo Health on the App Store or Google Play. Set the amount, and matching happens automatically each month.
- WhatsApp. The simplest route. Message us on WhatsApp and we will walk you through signing up inside the chat. No app, no forms, no password to forget.
- Short link. dogoapp.org/whatsapp opens the same WhatsApp conversation. It is the link on our printed materials and QR codes.
2. Give once
One-off donations start at £10. In Nigeria that is roughly three complete treatments. If a monthly commitment is not right for you, this is a perfectly good thing to do.
3. Volunteer
We are a small team and volunteers do real work here, not envelope stuffing. The areas where help genuinely changes our output are set out on the volunteering page: marketing and social media, technology, and fundraising or awareness campaigns.
Being blunt about where the need is greatest: our constraint is not our ability to deliver treatments, it is that not enough people know we exist. Anyone who can help with that is worth more to us than almost anything else.
4. Bring us your clinic, or your community
If you run a clinic or hospital in a region we could serve, see the page for clinics and hospitals. If you know a community that needs this, tell us. We can open a new region in under six weeks and we take suggestions seriously.
Fundraise for us
Sports events, workplace fundraising, running a donation stand, or an online campaign. Each is explained on the fundraising page, including what we will provide to help you.
The honest ask
If you have read this far, the single most valuable thing you can do is set up five pounds a month. That is one person's complete treatment, every month, for less than a sandwich. And unlike almost anything else you will fund this year, you will be told the name of the person it reached.
