The combined usage of mobile money and social media has made it very easy to set up a virtual fundraising, solicit for and make donations. Even people whom you hardly know or rarely talk to can quickly add you to a WhatsApp group with the expectation that you will make your personal contribution toward their course of concern. Your inclusion into such a group always creates pressure to give even if the issue is very remote to you. Now that mobile money services have spread across borders, relatives and friends who live abroad are not exempted from making donations to various causes back home.
