Metennkoste.com is the first Mauritian friendsfunding platform for collecting money easily for group expenses and events. We are an innovative and easy to use service that enables individuals to create money pots online and invite their friends & family to contribute to it.

Friendsfunding is a term created by Metennkoste to accurately describe the spirit behind it’s operations. We use crowdfunding technologies which can be described as “the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet” and apply that to a more personal context. Here we do not “fund a project or venture” but we rather contribute to a common gift or expense with the help of a large number of people you know.

Thus, Friendsfunding implies that you are giving your money to someone you know without expecting anything in return except from the joy of helping or gifting to that person.

The word ‘Money Pot’ on Metennkoste means a virtual money pot (Enn bwat kondane virtiel) that you will create and which you can send around to your circle of family and friends who would like to contribute to it.
