Indeed, we estimate that 90 % of the African Diaspora in Europe is using informal techniques to send their goods abroad. And when we look at the prices practiced by the classic carriers, it is understandable: 140\u20ac for a letter in express from Paris to Tunis, up to 250\u20ac towards Ivory Coast. And if it is cheaper, the delivery delay can be from 2 weeks, to months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To save money, African people living abroad usually go at the airport, asking directly travelers for help. They also post messages on social media to see if family or friends can help them. This solution might sometimes be helpful but most of the time, senders remain frustrated and cannot send their parcels, or even their letters\/documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our purpose is to help these people and to make their life easier. Sending goods has become a load of stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Link to online video (if available)\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"boombox-responsive-embed \"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jwebi, the crowdshipping genius\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LmHJlF3LtZY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Your products and services\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jwebi is a collaborative platform that connects travelers\/drivers with spare luggage space, with people who want to send a mail or a parcel abroad, quickly and at a lower cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jwebi also allows to find travelers to buy products abroad.
