Gofundme is a crowdfunding platform that allows people to raise money for myriad life events or challenges, and that is why families open an account, to seek financial aid to secure the release of students who have been in captivity for days.
Since the government of Governor Nasir El-Rufai would not negotiate with the kidnappers, parents and guardians of the students have taken their destinies in their hands to reach out to the captors for the release of their children.
One of the relatives of one of the victims posted a link on social media, via which the public could donate.
