Wegen helps you pay tuition and school fees abroad from Ethiopia — without a foreign credit card. And for Ethiopians abroad, it turns the money you already send home into a better deal for everyone.
Studying abroad or supporting a student? International tuition payments are hard when you don't have access to foreign cards or international wire transfers. Wegen connects people in Ethiopia who need to pay a school abroad with members of the diaspora who are already sending money home — quickly, transparently, and with every step tracked.
HOW IT WORKS
• Post a request — Enter the school, the amount, and the currency you need to pay.
• Get matched — The app matches your request with a sender and shows you a clear, upfront price.
• Track every step — Follow your payment from match to payout in real time, with status updates and notifications.
• Done — Funds are paid out to the institution through trusted payment partners.
WHY WEGEN
• No foreign card required — Pay international tuition using local options.
• Transparent pricing — See the full cost before you commit. No hidden surprises.
• Live exchange rates — Up-to-date ETB to foreign-currency rates so you always know the value.
• In-app wallet — Manage deposits, refunds, and balances in one place.
• Real-time tracking — Always know exactly where your payment is.
• Secure payouts — Payments to institutions are handled through established providers.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Students and families in Ethiopia paying application or tuition fees abroad — without needing a foreign card.
• Ethiopians in the diaspora who already send money home — now you choose the rate you give, get real value for your birr, and cover a genuine education need back home at the same time. One transfer, two wins for your community.
Wegen is built to make cross-border education payments simple, clear, and trackable.
