Reducing depression through connection, Team HelpMe’s Enye Project

Invisible threads are the strongest ties. – Friedrich Nietzsche

Problem: One third of the population report experiencing depressive symptoms.

The National Depression Report, conducted by Joy, Inc., surveyed people about their feelings of happiness and depression across Nigeria’s 36 states. More than 1,000 interviews conducted in all five major Nigerian languages found that 31.6 percent of the population reported symptoms of depression and 27.8 percent reported symptoms of anxiety.

Solution: “Helpme” software!

Help me aims to reduce depression, by connecting people together who are suffering. In addition to this connection, Help me offer will offer a marketplace for connecting with therapists on the users own terms.
