If a crowdfunding campaign organizer misuses funds in Kenya, you can take action to protect your rights — Immani lets you file a dispute against the organizer's phone number for KSh 100. Why this happens: Crowdfunding campaigns are often run by individuals or organizations with limited oversight, making it easier for funds to be misused. The usual advice to get a lawyer and go to court can be expensive and time-consuming, making it inaccessible to many Kenyans.

  1. Gather evidence: Collect any relevant documents, emails, or messages that show the organizer's misuse of funds.
  2. File a dispute: Use Immani to file a dispute against the organizer's phone number for KSh 100.
  3. Wait for a response: The organizer will be notified and given a chance to respond to your dispute.
  4. Negotiate a resolution: If the organizer responds, you can negotiate a resolution to the dispute.
  5. Escalate to court: If the organizer does not respond or you cannot come to an agreement, you can escalate the dispute to court.
