Help Publish the Igbo Keyboard App

What are you raising money for?

I am raising funds to purchase Apple and Google Play developer accounts so I can officially publish my Igbo keyboard app on iOS and Android. This keyboard makes typing in Igbo easier, supports accurate suggestions, translation, and works completely offline. I have built and tested it myself, but without these developer accounts, I cannot share it with the public. Publishing the app will allow Igbo speakers around the world to type confidently in their language and help preserve Igbo in the digital age. Your support will bring this project to life and help me reach a wider community of users.

Why are you raising the funds?

I am raising funds because I want to grow as a tech creator and make my Igbo keyboard available to everyone, but I cannot afford the developer accounts on my own. Apple’s developer program costs $99/year and Google Play requires a $25 one-time fee. These fees are a barrier for many young developers like me, especially in Nigeria. Your support will give me the opportunity to publish my app, learn more about app development, and make the Igbo language more accessible in the digital space. I’m asking for a chance to share my creation with the world and continue building my skills as a young Nigerian tech developer.

What will the funds raised help achieve?

The funds raised will allow me to purchase the Apple and Google Play developer accounts required to publish my Igbo keyboard app to the world. Once live, the app will make it easier for Igbo speakers to type correctly, access accurate suggestions, translate between English and Igbo, and enjoy a fully offline typing experience without needing internet. Publishing the keyboard will help promote our language, support cultural preservation, and encourage more developers to build technology in indigenous languages. Your support will not only help me launch this project but also give me hands-on experience in real app publishing, strengthen my skills as a young Nigerian developer, and push me closer to creating meaningful digital tools that represent our identity and heritage.
