Include Pakistan 🇵🇰 country into GitHub Sponsors program

[ossamamehmood]

The GitHub Sponsors program should be available in Pakistan. There're millions of users registered on GitHub and good stuff (contribution).

yup, the plan for them is worldwide, I think so. Back then, Philippines was not included but it's worth the wait. Maybe requesting it here might help also, as I did the same thing in the past.

Sounds Good : )

Good

I'm the Engineering Manager for GitHub Sponsors. I'll add that we definitely want GitHub Sponsors to be available everywhere we can. Thanks for the suggestion, @ossamamehmood.

[ossamamehmood]

Great to hear : )

@anjuan Any Idea, How long it will take from now?

[ossamamehmood]

Still not happened ✨🥲

yeah Same

Still wondering if this will be possible soon. I work in oss and it's really a shame that although i can sponsor people on Github, they can't sponsor me for my work since I am from Pakistan. If the banking systems in these countries are difficult, something like payoneer or other payment options should be available. Many services have figured this out already so I don't understand what's taking so long to support more countries and why the wait.

Any estimated time to add Pakistan to the Github country list for SMS?

We have to gather as much Pakistanis as possible. In that way, they might include Pakistan.
