Everything the African diaspora needs, in one place
Connect, shop, find services, ship a parcel home, book a home-cooked meal, and never miss an event that celebrates the culture — Medueti is the community and the toolkit, together.
Ten reasons to open Medueti today
No other app was built specifically for the diaspora experience. Medueti was.
Messaging
Message friends, shop owners, service providers and travellers carrying your parcel — all in the same real-time chat, with photos and attachments built in.
Marketplace
Open a shop in minutes or browse one rich with authentic products — fabrics, spices, beauty, art and fashion from diaspora sellers near you and across the world.
Services
A hairdresser, a caterer, a lawyer, a tutor — the directory connects you with trusted diaspora professionals in your city, and helps them grow with a listing of their own.
Shipping
Travellers list their trip and the space they have; senders book a slot for their parcel. Community shipping, at a fraction of the cost of a courier — coordinated in chat, start to finish.
Kitchens
Reserve a plate from a home cook near you, or open your own kitchen and turn your cooking into an income. The taste of home, made by someone who actually knows it.
Sublets
Moving cities, studying abroad, or just visiting? Find a room or a short-term place listed by someone in the community — or list your own spare space.
Events
Concerts, conferences, festivals, exhibitions — find diaspora events near you, get your ticket in the app, or organise your own and reach people who actually show up.
News
Curated news and stories about the communities, cities and countries you care about — without wading through a feed that was never built for you.
Creators
Approved creators earn from the community they build — gifts from followers, a share of ad revenue, and tools to grow an audience that's actually theirs.
A closer look at four of the ten
Not generic versions of these — Medueti's own take on each one. The rest are in the grid above.
The Afroshop marketplace, in your pocket
Open a shop in minutes or browse one rich with authentic products — fabrics, spices, beauty, art and fashion from diaspora sellers near you and across the world.
- Sell your own products with your own storefront
- Browse by category, shop or seller rating
- Built-in chat with every seller for questions before you buy
Not a global marketplace with African products bolted on — built around what the diaspora actually buys.
Find people who understand what you need
A hairdresser, a caterer, a lawyer, a tutor — the directory connects you with trusted diaspora professionals in your city, and helps them grow with a listing of their own.
- Local providers across dozens of categories
- Reviews and ratings from real bookings
- In-app booking and messaging with the provider
Trust that comes from people who share your background and language, not anonymous star ratings.
Send a parcel with someone already flying
Travellers list their trip and the space they have; senders book a slot for their parcel. Community shipping, at a fraction of the cost of a courier — coordinated in chat, start to finish.
- Publish a trip or search upcoming departures on your route
- Agree on price and details directly in chat
- Track a shipment from accepted to delivered
No courier does this — it only exists because the community is already flying the route.
Home-cooked meals from your neighbourhood
Reserve a plate from a home cook near you, or open your own kitchen and turn your cooking into an income. The taste of home, made by someone who actually knows it.
- Browse dishes and scheduled cook dates near you
- Reserve portions in advance, cook confirms automatically
- Kitchen owners manage orders and payouts from the app
A generic food app has restaurants. This has someone's actual kitchen and their actual recipe.

A digital home for the African diaspora
From our headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, Medueti is building a comprehensive digital ecosystem for the African diaspora — one app for every need, instead of ten disconnected ones.
We strengthen social bonds through community, drive economic growth with our marketplace and services directory, and keep culture close with kitchens, shipping and an events hub built around real diaspora life — not adapted from somewhere else.
