Funerals, school fees, medical bills, weddings, infrastructure — pooled in non-custodial smart contracts, transparent to every contributor, and claimed directly by the beneficiary. Ubuntu: I am because we are. Built for the Calgary cousin chipping in for a funeral in Bulawayo — the $50B+/year community philanthropy flow that finally has rails built for it.
Harambee — Swahili for "all pull together" — is community fundraising. A campaign is created with a target, deadline, and beneficiary; contributors fund it; and the beneficiary claims the pooled funds directly from the smart contract — no custodian, no opaque release. When the goal is reached, contributions can close; and anyone who still wants to give is shown the goal is already met and chooses to add to it knowingly — that openness is the trust. It's built for the moments that matter most: school fees, medical bills, funerals, weddings, and urgent family needs, here and back home.
It replaces GoFundMe (8–10% combined fees, custodial, opaque), informal WhatsApp pools (no enforcement, no audit trail), and wire transfers and PayPal (expensive, no community structure). None of them were built for the diaspora philanthropy flow. Harambee is.
Community fundraising only works when people trust where the money goes. Coynitt makes that visible.
Every contribution is recorded by the smart contract, so the total is real and verifiable — not a number someone typed in. Coynitt never holds the funds; the contract does.
Funds are claimed by the beneficiary straight from the smart contract — no custodian, no opaque auto-release. When a Harambee reaches its goal, giving can close; and anyone who still wants to add is shown it's already met and chooses to give knowingly. No one gives in the dark — that informed generosity is the trust the community already runs on.
Contributors can follow progress toward the goal and receive clear updates from start to close. No wondering whether their support arrived, or where it went.
A Harambee has a goal and an ending. Everyone can see when it opens, how it's tracking, and when it closes — the transparency that turns "I think I gave" into "I can see it landed."
Harambee opens to waitlist members first. Join now so you can rally your community the day you need to.
