Hospital-verified emergencies. Instant matched funding.
African families watch loved ones die waiting for surgery because hospitals demand upfront deposits while existing crowdfunding platforms force them to rely on relatives abroad to even open a campaign that may not arrive in time.
HarakaHealth gives hospitals a simple dashboard to post authenticated emergency cases. Families receive a shareable link. The platform uses AI to match cases with pre-qualified donors and diaspora networks while offering 'velocity-based bridge funding' — if donations hit 40% within 6 hours, a partner fund covers the rest.
