Hallo Paul
Thank you for your donation. We are updating every 2 days. We are collecting from 3 payment systems and hence the update every 2 days.
We encourage everyone making bank transfer payments to send to finance at tespok.co.ke the transfer confirmation. As soon as funds are sighted at the bank we shall confirm receipt.
We sincerely thank those who are supporting the initiative for your support.
Kind regards

Hello Fiona,
Would you care to explain how the funding report (https://www.tespok.co.ke/?page_id=14123) is generated? It appears to be a dynamic listing, however the donation that Africa on Cloud has not been listed. I can confirm that the funds did leave our account.
Are donations being lost in the system, or is this rather an error on the site?
Regards
Paul

Dear Internet Community,
You are probably aware that AFRINIC, the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, is involved in ongoing litigation, where the plaintiff has sought to have AFRINIC?s bank accounts frozen. In today?s connected world, it is easy to abstract the Internet into simply moving bits and bytes, and forget that there are real people that work hard at building, maintaining and providing support for the systems that you, and the Internet, need to continue working and engaging.
The litigation has made it difficult for AFRINIC to meet its financial obligations. Part of these expenses are salaries for the AFRINIC team, who are resolutely working through this difficult period.? Whilst we recognise that the legal system has to complete its important process, ?our colleagues still need to survive? during one of the worst pandemics in memory.? As an operational entity, that is core to a functioning Internet, AFRINIC still has financial obligations that it must meet to its suppliers.
Af-IX, in collaboration with our partners are therefore embarking on a fund-raising exercise to help keep AFRINIC?s core functions and services running for the next three months. As a broader community, we are dependent on this registry, whose service of allocating and registering Internet Number Resources (IPv4, IPv6 and ASN) has enabled communication for the development and growth of the Internet In the African region.
We invite you to be part of the community of supporters to ensure that AFRINIC can continue to play the vital role it has, for the sustainable digital growth in Africa.
You can choose to donate any amount via the URL below.? The funds collected will be used to support the team by ensuring the core functions of AFRINIC continue without risk.

Hi Paul,
On the donation website there is a button that reads FUNDRAISING REPORT.
Once you click that, you will be redirected to the link below which is the AFRINIC FUNDRAISING REPORT.
https://www.tespok.co.ke/?page_id=14123
This is being manually updated and in case you don't see your TRANSACTION ID on the list, be patient as TESPOK will update every after two days.
The FAQ section has below question and answer
How will the community be informed about the amounts donated and disbursed?
TESPOK will publish the total amount donated from both individuals and corporates and the total amount disbursed on the donation web page every 2 days.The names of individual donors will not be published to align with the Kenya Data Protection Act of 2019.
