The Problem

Good help was always nearby.
You just couldn't find it.

There's a plumber on your street everyone vouches for. A cleaner your neighbour recommends only to people she trusts. An electrician who fixed your neighbour's generator last week.

That network already exists. It's just locked inside personal relationships — available only to people who know the right people. helpa unlocks it for everyone.

"No safety, no trust, no system, no structure. Everything is just anyhow."

Structure where there was none

Safety isn't a feature here.
It's the whole point.

Your money is held securely and released only when you confirm the job is done right. Not before. Never automatically.

Dispute Support

Something went wrong? Our team reviews every case and protects both sides fairly. No one gets left stranded.

Real Voices

People already feel this.

Real frustrations. Real hopes. This is exactly why helpa exists.

OMG I need this app like yesterday. Three weeks looking for a plumber. No-shows, wrong numbers, overquotes. WHERE IS HELPA.

Someone I hired stole my package and denied ever seeing me. We need systems that hold people accountable. I love what helpa is building.

I'm a graphic designer and I haven't had a single paying client in 2 months. Not because I'm bad — nobody can find me. Helpa, please.

I work from home and waste 2 hours every Saturday on errands I'd happily pay someone ₦3,000 to handle. When helpa launches near me, I'm getting my Saturdays back.

I needed a tutor for Physics and my final year project. I'm willing to pay — if only I knew who to trust. Helpa is the answer to this problem.

Our Mission

Nigeria has no shortage of skill.
It has a shortage of structure.

For too long, talented people have been invisible — buried in informal networks, underpaid, and overlooked. Customers have settled for unreliable help or gone without.

We are building the trust layer Nigeria's service economy has always needed. A verified, structured, fair marketplace where every skilled person gets visibility and every customer gets accountable help.

"Finding someone to help shouldn't be harder than the problem itself."
