1. The campaign lifecycle

Every campaign on Ardent Africa moves through the same five stages. Knowing them up front means no surprises, and it helps you set the right expectations with your supporters.

You stay in control at each stage: you draft the story, we verify for trust and safety, then you share, receive funds, and report back on the impact.

2. Write a story that earns trust

Lead with the specific need and who it helps. Concrete details, a clear goal, and real photos consistently raise more than a general appeal.

Add a realistic goal and a short breakdown of how the funds will be used.

Verification

Campaigns are reviewed by Ardent Africa before they can receive funds. Adding a clear description, media, and accurate contact details speeds this up.

3. Share and keep momentum

The first 48 hours matter most. Share your campaign link with close contacts first, then post an update the moment you hit your first milestone. Momentum compounds.
