Getting Started With Fara – Everything You Need to Know

What is Fara?

Fara is a platform that makes it simple for people in the diaspora to manage and fund property development projects back home. It allows you to send money in USD, convert it into local currencies, and allocate it to multiple project wallets. Each wallet can be used to pay vendors, record expenses, and track progress in real time.

Our Mission

Fara’s mission is to bring trust, transparency, and control to diaspora-funded projects. Too often, people struggle with unclear expenses, delays, or mismanaged funds when building from abroad. Fara was created to solve this by providing a single place where you can monitor budgets, manage payments, and ensure every dollar goes exactly where it should.
