Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how ALLAVA works and how it keeps donations safe.
What is ALLAVA?
ALLAVA is a crowdfunding platform for people facing a medical emergency in another country. It helps someone who is hurt or ill abroad — often without a local bank account or insurance — raise money fast, with donations held in secure escrow.
How is ALLAVA different from other crowdfunding platforms?
ALLAVA is built for one situation: a health emergency far from home. Donations are held in escrow rather than handed over, every campaign is identity-verified, campaigns have no deadline, and ALLAVA earns a fee only on donations beyond the goal — nothing on the money someone actually needs.
Do I need to know anything about crypto to use ALLAVA?
No. You give and receive in ordinary money. ALLAVA uses stablecoins underneath because they are borderless and verifiable, but there are no wallets, tokens, or technical steps for you to learn — the person in crisis should barely know crypto exists.
Is my donation safe, and where does the money go?
Donations are held by ALLAVA in secure escrow, not sent straight to anyone. Money is only released for the emergency it was raised for — to pay for care, transport, and getting home — and every withdrawal is identity-checked and screened before it moves.
Can someone set up a campaign for me if I am too unwell?
Yes. If you have limited mobility, a trusted person nearby can help run the campaign. In the most serious cases, where someone is incapacitated and cannot act for themselves, ALLAVA can step in as an emergency agent.
How does ALLAVA make money?
ALLAVA charges nothing on the amount someone needs to reach their goal. It earns a fee only on donations that come in beyond the goal. This keeps the platform’s interest aligned with donors being generous, never with taking from a person in crisis.
Is there a deadline to reach the goal?
No. Health emergencies do not run on a countdown, so ALLAVA campaigns have no deadline. They stay open for as long as help is needed.
How does ALLAVA prevent fraud?
Every campaign is identity-verified before funds move, and every withdrawal is automatically screened — identity confirmed, destination checked against sanctions and anti-money-laundering lists, and bounded to the amount raised. Anything unusual is held for staff review. Fraud protection comes before convenience.
What countries does ALLAVA work in?
ALLAVA is global by design — there is no primary country. Because donations are held and moved as stablecoins, the platform is built to work across borders, currencies, and languages.
