How Helpa transforms medical crowdfunding, bringing hope and healing to Africa

In the heart of Africa’s burgeoning tech ecosystem, a groundbreaking startup is shining a light on a path to healthcare access for countless individuals grappling with financial constraints.

Through helpa.me, the startup is becoming a beacon of innovation, empathy, and the power of community support.

Helpa’s Vision for a Healthier Africa

At the helm of Helpa is Rashidat Amode, CEO and Co-founder, with a vision of a brighter Africa where financial limitations do not stand in the way of healthcare.

She champions Helpa’s mission to democratize fundraising, with a strong focus on medical crowdfunding, making it accessible to every African in need.

“Our belief is simple: everyone facing the burden of unaffordable medical procedures should have the chance to turn to their community and the world for support during their time of need,” Rashidat Amode, Helpa’s CEO, passionately declares.

“We’re here to empower people to secure their own healthcare, one campaign at a time, and to provide NGOs with a platform to raise funds for their impactful causes.”

Salahudeen Tope, COO and Co-founder of Helpa, recognizes the transformative potential of digital technology in addressing poverty. He stresses the importance of equipping Africans with an easy-to-use platform to thrive in today’s interconnected world.

“In this digital era, crowdfunding through the internet is a game-changer in funding medical treatments for those in need,” Salahudeen Tope highlighted.

“Our mission extends beyond fundraising; we aim to foster a culture of giving, making medical fundraising accessible to all.”

He added, “Helpa empowers individuals and NGOs with the tools needed for success in their personal or corporate projects. We’ve broken the barriers of only receiving foreign currency funds. Helpa enables fundraisers to accept both local Naira currency and foreign currency from donors in the diaspora.”

Empowering Change through Helpa Crowdfunding Campaigns

Helpa has become a catalyst for numerous success stories in the African crowdfunding landscape.

While primarily a platform for individual medical fundraising, Helpa also supports NGOs in championing causes important to them.

Consider the case of young Oghenekeno, a 2-year-old girl with congenital heart disease. Her life-altering surgery became a reality, thanks to Helpa and generous donors.

Another inspiring story is that of Mrs. Amina, a single mother of four. She successfully raised ₦350,000 Nigerian Naira on Helpa for her eye treatment.

“Through my Helpa fundraising campaign, I realized my dream of seeing clearly again. Cataracts had affected my vision for as long as I could remember, and the treatment was costly. The support I received from friends, family, and even strangers was overwhelming,” Mrs. Amina shares, grateful for the help she received.

Since its inception in December 2022, Helpa has facilitated approximately 30 million Naira in donations for around 100 fundraiser campaigns. This reflects Helpa’s mission to bridge the healthcare access gap by connecting those in need with willing donors.

A Promising Future with Helpa

Helpa stands as a testament to technology’s potential to drive social change and tackle pressing issues like poverty. Under the leadership of Rashidat Amode and Salahudeen Tope, Helpa is on a mission to transform fundraising in Africa, nurture a culture of giving, and create a brighter future for all Africans.

As Africa embraces the digital age, Helpa is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it’s a movement offering promise of positive change and lasting impact, not only in Africa but also across the world. Helpa is the helping hand extended to empower individuals to afford their healthcare and fulfill their dreams.
