The Donation Flow
1

Verified In Person

A trained Psalm 139 employee meets the individual at a partnered shelter. Consent given. Photo taken. Story captured.

2

Live on the App

Their profile goes live for the world to find. Name. Story. Verified needs. A real person — searchable, donatable.

3

QR Card in Hand

They receive a physical QR card. No phone required. Show it to anyone — one scan opens their profile and enables giving.

4

Redeem at a Store

Walk into a verified partner store. Scan the card at the till. Redeem donations for food, hygiene, or clothing.

Transparency

Every rand goes exactly where you send it.

Donations go directly to the person you chose — not into a pool. Funds can only be spent on verified essentials at partner stores.

Accessibility

No smartphone needed to receive help.

Most giving platforms require a phone to receive. Psalm 139 is different. The QR card works for anyone — at a store till, at a kiosk, or in a stranger’s hand on the street.

Security

Verified in person. Protected by design.

In-person verification only. Cards secured by personal security questions. Admin review before any profile goes live.

Human Connection

You give to a person, not a charity.

Browse real verified profiles. Read their stories. See their needs. Choose who you help. This is giving with a face.

Our Goal

Partnering with stores
you already love.

We’re building a verified redemption network at South Africa’s biggest grocery chains — so that a donation scan at the till is as normal as a loyalty card.
