Waseela is a free app for making appeal posts in Pakistan: donation appeals for zakat, sadaqah and other donations, missing person posters and blood requests. Fill in a short form and Waseela makes a post you can share on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. Donors send money straight to the person, and Waseela never handles it.
Free, with nothing in between
Making, downloading and publishing a post is free. Donors send money straight to the bank account or mobile wallet on the post. Waseela never handles the money and takes no cut.
Trust comes from people
Trust comes from people, not from Waseela. Anyone can make a post, and each one spreads through people who know the person: family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and their community.
Appeals for medical bills and treatment
Hospital bills, surgery and operation costs, cancer treatment, dialysis, medicine, tests and doctor's fees: make an appeal for medical help for yourself or a family member.
Appeals for school and university fees
School fees, college and university fees, admission and exam fees, books and uniforms: ask for help with a student's education.
Appeals for emergencies
Flood and disaster relief, a house fire, rent or bills after a lost job, a funeral, or any other urgent need of a family.
Zakat, sadaqah and donations, at home and abroad
For anyone raising zakat, sadaqah (sadqa) or donations from family, friends, colleagues and their community, in Pakistan or overseas. If you are asking for zakat, say so in the description, so donors who give zakat know. An appeal can be made on someone else's behalf, and the person it is for can stay unnamed.
Missing people, pets and items
A Missing post shows a photo, the area and time they were last seen, and who to contact, and can offer a reward. It works for a missing person, a lost pet or a lost item.
Blood requests
A blood request shows the blood types and number of bags needed, the hospital, and the time it is needed by. Once published, it closes an hour after that time and is then erased.
A post ready for WhatsApp
The post is a 9:16 picture, the shape of a WhatsApp status or an Instagram story. It shows what the appeal is for, the amount needed, and the bank account or mobile wallet for donations, so people can donate without asking for details. A QR code on the post holds the account details as plain text, so any phone can scan and copy them.
A link to share
Sign in with your email to publish a post as a page with its own link, for groups and messages. A donation appeal or Missing post stays live for 30 days, and you can close it or turn it back on.
Kept in your browser
Without an account, your post stays in your browser and is drawn on your own device; drafts are saved on that device only.
Questions
Is Waseela free?
Yes. Making, downloading, publishing and sharing a post costs nothing, and Waseela takes no cut of any donation.
Does Waseela collect the money?
No. Donors send money straight to the bank account or wallet on the post. Waseela never holds or passes on any money.
Do I need an account?
Not to make and download a post. Sign in with your email to publish it with its own link, to show a Missing post or blood request in Active posts, or to draft with AI (5 a day).
Is Waseela in Urdu?
Yes. Waseela follows your phone's language, and you can switch between English and Urdu from the menu.
How do I know an appeal is real?
Waseela doesn't verify posts yet. It's a tool for making clear, sober posts for appeals, missing people and blood requests, and for publishing them if you choose. What a post says is up to the person who made it, and whether to give is up to you. We're working on verification, but it takes resources we don't have yet, so we can't say when it will come. Until then: think about where the post or link came from, and who shared it. Check the details, and contact the person on the post.
Missing posts and blood requests can also be shown in Active posts, if their owners choose.
