Cash and voucher assistance
7Grant is a cash and voucher assistance platform for NGOs and government social programmes. Each beneficiary's entitlement sits in a controlled account, in money or in goods. It is released only for approved categories at approved merchants, on terminals they already own, and every transaction becomes evidence for the donor.
Why 7Grant exists
People in need should not have to download an app, create an account or wait for a registration event. 7Grant reaches them through what they already carry: the wallet on their phone, a messenger, a phone number or a simple card. That is Zero-Enrolment Delivery.
Each entitlement carries its own spending rules and enforces them at purchase. The rules belong to the entitlement, not the person, so a strict ration and a flexible allowance can coexist on one beneficiary. We call it a Purpose-Bound Entitlement.
No party in the delivery chain adopts new software or hardware to take part. It is a design constraint, not a slogan.
Assistance arrives in a wallet card, a messenger chat, a phone number or a card. No download, no password, and a route for people with no smartphone at all.
Acceptance runs on the bank terminal already on the counter, or a light Scanner app. No hardware to buy, no certification, no voucher register to submit.
Rules are set once per account and enforced at every purchase. Reports come from the transactions, so evidence exists before anyone asks for it.
The product passport: what the platform is, who it serves and how it runs.
Zero-Enrolment Delivery
7Grant reaches people through channels they already carry, including routes for feature phones, people with no handset and protection-sensitive contexts.
Apple Wallet
A programme card saved from a single link. No app store, no account, no password.
Google Wallet
The same card on Android, in the wallet already built into the phone.
Balance, dynamic QR payment and receipt submission inside a messenger people use daily.
Telegram
The same chatbot flows, plus a two-way channel back to the programme.
Phone number
Spoken at checkout. Works on a feature phone or with no handset at hand.
Anonymous card
A plastic card with no personal data, for protection-sensitive contexts.
National identifier
Where the programme already relies on a state ID, it can identify the beneficiary.
Paper vouchers need no technology. They do carry printing, logistics, forgery and reconciliation costs that a controlled account removes.
Before
Vouchers are printed and shipped, merchants collect and submit them, and the programme reconciles registers before anyone is paid. Evidence arrives later, as field returns.
After
The entitlement lives in an account with its own rules. The merchant is paid at the moment of sale, and the transaction record is the evidence.
From funding a beneficiary account to settling with a merchant and reporting to the donor.
The programme creates a controlled account for each beneficiary, in currency or in goods, with its own categories, limits and merchants.
At a local shop, the beneficiary uses a wallet card, a messenger QR, a phone number or an anonymous card. Nothing to install.
The platform checks the whitelist, the category and the limit before value moves. The merchant is settled at the moment of sale.
Each transaction records account, merchant, category, amount and time. The donor report is assembled from those records, not field returns.
Each scheme fits a different kind of entitlement. A programme can run one or combine them on the same beneficiary.
The beneficiary scans a merchant QR in a messenger. The platform checks the whitelist, debits the targeted account, and the seller is paid in the same moment.
Best for
Open-market purchases at vetted shops
Vouchers for specific goods or fixed sets arrive in a messenger or wallet pass. The merchant's existing POS scanner reads them. No printing, no reconciliation.
Best for
Fixed rations, kits and seasonal sets
The beneficiary is identified by any channel. The merchant selects the purchase category, and the platform confirms it against the account's rules and limit.
Best for
Flexible allowances within set categories
Spending controls
Restriction happens at the moment of purchase, so a rule is never something to audit afterwards.
An account can be spent only on the categories the programme allows. Anything else is declined at the counter.
Example
Pharmacy and medicine only
Categories the programme excludes are refused at checkout, whichever merchant the beneficiary visits.
Example
Excluded goods refused at the till
Pacing keeps an entitlement lasting as long as it should, instead of being spent in the first week.
Example
Paced across a winter season
Entitlements held in physical units. Goods are issued against the balance, so the entitlement cannot become cash.
Example
Litres, kilograms or kits
7Grant serves the organisations that fund, operate and audit targeted assistance, each with a different job to do.
Launch targeted assistance without commissioning software, buying hardware, printing vouchers or paying for SMS. Donor reporting comes from the transactions themselves.
Fits
Cash and voucher programmes in functioning markets
Add targeted delivery to social benefits without replacing the registry, the paying bank or the entitlement. On-premise deployment with transaction-level audit.
Fits
G2P and social protection programmes
Every purchase leaves a record of the account, merchant, category, amount and time. Traceability comes from the design, not from field returns.
Fits
Restricted funding with evidence requirements
Use cases
Ten programme types where category control, pacing and evidence per purchase change what a programme can promise.
Discuss Your Use CaseThrough local shops, with category control, monthly pacing and evidence per purchase.
For people without documents, bank accounts or a fixed address, including anonymous channels.
Fuel, heating, clothing and bedding, paced monthly so the entitlement lasts the season.
Restricted to pharmacies and medicine categories, with no cash conversion.
Denominated in litres and hygiene kits, holding value under price movement.
Children's goods, school supplies and uniforms, in seasonal windows.
Pay participants without bank accounts. Attendance upstream, payment and evidence downstream.
Stand up assistance in days by removing enrolment, device fleets and card issuance.
Whitelisted stations and permitted categories, with quantity or value limits.
Seed, fertiliser and tools through vetted agro-dealers within planting windows.
Where each approach puts the cost, the risk and the evidence.
Bulk mobile money is the strongest rail when value is meant to be unrestricted once it lands in the wallet.
When local markets cannot supply the goods, in-kind distribution is the right answer.
Dedicated CVA platforms cover the whole cycle from registration to reconciliation. 7Grant inverts that model.
7Grant does not publish prices. Cost depends on the programme, and one configuration removes the upfront cost entirely.

FAQ
Short, direct answers. Each links to the page with the detail.
7Grant is a cash and voucher assistance platform for humanitarian organisations and government social programmes. It holds each beneficiary's entitlement as a controlled account, releases it only for approved categories at approved merchants, and records every transaction as evidence for the donor.
No. Beneficiaries reach assistance through Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, WhatsApp, Telegram, a phone number, an anonymous card or a national identifier. There is nothing to download and no account to register.
7Grant enforces rules at checkout. Each account carries permitted categories, blocked categories, and daily and monthly limits. Commodity accounts hold entitlements in goods, such as litres or kilograms, so they cannot become cash.
No. Merchants accept 7Grant on the bank terminal they already own, or with a light Scanner app on their own smartphone. There is no hardware to buy, no certification and no voucher reconciliation.
Every transaction records the account, merchant, category, amount and time, with optional receipt capture. Donor reports are assembled from those records rather than from field returns.
Yes. 7Grant can be deployed on-premise inside your security perimeter, with the database isolated from external networks and personal data remaining in your jurisdiction.
7Grant does not publish prices. Cost is quoted per programme. In some configurations a programme launches with no upfront cost, funded by a commission on transactions.
When the transfer is meant to be unrestricted, bulk mobile money is usually the stronger rail. When markets are broken, in-kind assistance is the right answer. The compare section sets out each alternative honestly.
