The story of how we became Africa's most trusted diaspora errand service — built with love, powered by community.
Helpmewaka was founded in 2017 with one simple mission: to make it effortless for Africans living abroad to take care of their loved ones back home. We understood the frustration — the missed birthdays, the delayed documents, the worry about whether ageing parents were eating well.
We built a platform that bridges the gap between diaspora Africans and the people they love most. Whether it's a monthly grocery delivery in Lagos, a transcript retrieval in Accra, or a birthday hamper in Abuja — Helpmewaka handles it all.
Today, with over 15,000 satisfied clients in more than 40 countries, we continue to grow — expanding our services, our network, and our promise to make every errand feel easy and personal.
To be the most reliable and compassionate errand service for Africans in the diaspora — eliminating distance as a barrier to caring for loved ones back home, one errand at a time.
To build the most trusted cross-border lifestyle platform in Africa, connecting the diaspora with their roots through technology, community and an unbreakable commitment to service quality.
We go beyond errands — we deliver peace of mind.
Every contractor on our platform goes through a rigorous vetting process. We only work with trusted, trained professionals.
Many of our services are available with same-day delivery options within major cities in Nigeria and Ghana.
You receive email and SMS notifications at every step of your order — so you always know exactly what is happening.
If we fail to deliver, you get a full refund. We stand 100% behind our service quality, every single time.
We operate in Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon — with plans to expand to more African countries very soon.
We are built by Africans, for Africans. Your success stories inspire us to do better every single day.
