As the earthquakes hit Venezuela, giving should go straight to people.

Yakera is a platform for direct giving, with no intermediaries between the people who need help and the people who want to give it. People write their own story, list how they want to be paid, and receive funds directly — no agencies, no resellers, not even Yakera in the middle of the money.

Real people, helped directly.

Behind every campaign is a person and a story. Hover a panel to read it, or open one to hear how direct giving changed things.

How Yakera works

An easy-to-use platform for direct giving. People create their campaign, donors give straight to them, and the money arrives directly — with nothing in the middle.

  1. Step 1

    Tell your story

    Create an account, then write your own campaign in your own words — the story, and how you want to be paid.

  2. Step 2

    Give directly, 0% commission

    Donors pay straight to the person on the platform. 100% of every donation reaches the recipient.

  3. Step 3

    Receive funds directly

    Verified payments land in the campaign automatically. People receive money directly and decide when to keep going or stop.

Since 2021 we've helped 300+ families receive $30k+ in donations.

Direct giving, reaching real people across Latin America.
