Hi @Raytme, I'm the Engineering Manager for GitHub Sponsors. Our goal is to make GitHub Sponsors available everywhere you can use GitHub, but we're not there yet. There are a variety of factors that determine where we can offer the program, and we love bringing GitHub Sponsors to new regions. I would personally love to make GitHub Sponsors available in more African countries, and I hope to share more in a future announcement.

@Raytme I'm happy to announced that GitHub Sponsors has just expanded into several new regions including these African countries!

• Côte d'Ivoire
• Ethiopia
• Ghana
• Madagascar
• Namibia
• Nigeria
• Rwanda
• Tanzania

@anjuan Thank you for your answer, but most popular issue for github sponsors in african countries is about payment method. Most stuck with stripe because it seem stripe do not work or accept IBAN forn Africa.
if you can make wise and cryptocurrency or allow anyone provide his own iban as payment method it will resolve this problem.
This crucial problem need to be carry and find solution.
