When to post an update
- When new money comes in
- When you reach part of your goal
- When you pay a bill or buy what you raised for
- When plans change
What to include
Say what happened, show a photo or receipt if you can, and say what’s next. Two or three sentences is enough.
An example update
Thank you! We’ve raised ₦420,000 so far. Today I paid the first part of my fees (receipt attached). We still need ₦580,000 for books and accommodation.

When money arrives, update your total so people can see the progress. Remember your page shows it as reported by you, so keep it accurate.
