About
Bridging the diaspora and the continent · through transparency.
Oyeba was born of a simple observation: the diaspora sends love, money and energy back home. But in between, there's often a fog. We want to clear it.
Our mission
Give the diaspora a clear space to coordinate projects · so trust no longer depends on a phone, but on a visible, shared, traceable reality.
Our story
The spark came from a very ordinary diaspora frustration: sending money every month for a family construction site in Kinshasa, and getting back a thirty-second WhatsApp voice note, sometimes a blurry photo, often nothing at all. Six months later, finding out the foundations weren't to spec, and nobody remembers who signed off on what.
Oyeba's founder lived that story firsthand, like millions before him. Instead of accepting it, he started building the tool he wished he'd had: a single space where every step of the project becomes visible, every proof stays dated and reviewable, and every role is clear to everyone involved.
Oyeba is developed today by Cleverixe, a company based in France, with the same standard as on day one: stay simple, stay honest about what actually exists, and build for real use rather than for a demo. The product is still young. The first projects are already running, and every piece of feedback counts.
Our values
Transparency
Everyone sees the same thing. No grey zones, no parallel versions.
Trust
Trust is earned through action: dated proofs, immutable history, clear roles.
Accessibility
Mobile-first. Low bandwidth. Low-end Android. Multilingual. Affordable. Non-negotiable.
Digital sovereignty
Data hosted in Europe today. African datacenters in study for tomorrow. Your info stays yours.
Why now
This money deserves better than a blurry WhatsApp. Oyeba arrives at the right time: 4G is everywhere, smartphones too, and trust must be earned.
