Thank you for your interest in supporting Aruuri at this early stage.
Aruuri is a tech-enabled community fund supporting verified, locally-led projects across the Horn of Africa and connected communities globally. We exist to unlock the power of organised diaspora capital — pooling resources to fund solutions collectively, transparently, and with purpose.
Founding Contributors are the first supporters helping us build this system. When the platform goes live, you'll be among the first to power the community fund.

We're still in our early days and shaping Aruuri with our community. Here are some of the questions we're hearing most.
Aruuri is a community-led funding platform focused on the Somali region. We connect diaspora, friends of the region, and local organisers around small, transparent projects. Our goal is to make giving easier, more transparent, and more impactful.
We will support all major credit and debit cards, as well as bank transfers. We are also exploring mobile money options to make giving as accessible as possible for the diaspora community.
Every project on Aruuri goes through a rigorous verification process. We verify the identity of organisers, assess their track record, and ensure they have the capacity to deliver on their promises. We also conduct ongoing monitoring to ensure funds are used appropriately.
We're here to help. Reach out to our team and we'll get back to you soon.
