Why Crowdfunding for Morocco in 2026?
Morocco has one of the world's largest diasporas : over 5 million Moroccans live abroad — 1.5 million in France alone. Together they transfer over $10 billion/year back to Morocco. Crowdfunding lets the entire community share the financial burden instead of one person carrying it alone.
- 💰 Shared burden : instead of one person paying everything, the community contributes as they can
- 🌍 Mobilize the global diaspora : family in Paris, cousins in Brussels, friends in Madrid — all can donate in seconds
- 🔒 Full transparency : every euro is traceable, avoiding family disputes over fund management
- ⚡ Speed : a campaign can go live in 10 minutes and receive first donations within hours

FAQ — Morocco Fundraiser
Can I collect in Moroccan dirhams (MAD)?
SAPEO collects in EUR. Moroccan donors pay in MAD via their local bank card — conversion is automatic. Include MAD equivalents in your campaign description.
Do Moroccan banks block payments to SAPEO?
No. Visa/Mastercard issued in Morocco support international online payments. If a transaction is blocked, an international prepaid Visa card (available at any Moroccan bank for under 50 MAD) solves it.
Does SAPEO charge any fees?
No platform fee. Only Stripe processing (~1.4% + €0.25 per European card) applies.
How do I send the collected funds to Morocco?
After withdrawal to your European bank account, transfer to Morocco via Wise (~0.5% fees), your bank, or Western Union for smaller amounts.
Can a Morocco-based person create a campaign?
Yes, but they need a European/international bank account to receive funds. We recommend designating a family member in Europe as the beneficiary.
