Frequently asked questions

Do I need to give to access the content?

The essential cultural archive remains free and open to everyone. Donations and support are voluntary: they help with hosting and documentation, without restricting access to cultural content.

How do I confirm my donation?

Only donate using the details on this page. After donating, write to us through the contact form with the amount and date: we will confirm receipt.

Why not PayPal, Ko-fi or Buy Me a Coffee?

Airtel Money and UBA Chad transfer are the only methods shown. PayPal is not offered: it does not work in Chad. Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee are not open yet.

Does the site show advertising?

Google AdSense is not live yet: no publisher account has been opened. Chad is eligible; Google pays by bank wire once the site is approved. Ads will go live when a ca-pub publisher ID is provided.
