What is Babahme?
Babahme.com is a FREE classifieds (advertising) marketplace on the Web currently serving communities in Africa (Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda), Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, UK) and North America (USA, Canada).
It is elaborate and simple to use, offering a category of options so that you can drill down to specific cities in these countries, thereby providing you an opportunity for targeted advertising.
Whether you are an independent business person (auto dealer/transporter, container shipper or wanting to split shipping cost, small retail store owner, restaurant owner, hair dresser, nanny, carpenter, sales person, caterer, DJ, therapist, personal trainer, Jack of all trades etc.); or a landlord (selling land, renting apartments/houses, etc.); an individual (wanting to sell or buy anything from electronics, software, books, furniture to clothing; or simply want to create new connections); or a business (advertising jobs or looking for resumes, announcing deals and promotions), this is the perfect spot for you.
Every Ad you place is free (no cost) and it takes less than five minutes to create one for your business, product or brand.
It offers two languages – English and French – which can be toggled at a click of a button from any page on the site.
Why Babahme?
The phrase “ba-bah-me” is used by babies in West Africa to express the metaphysical need to be carried, a burden to be lifted. The metaphor seems fitting as we seek to lift up our community burdens through collective efforts and support.
For the first time in our generation, our involvement in the Diaspora and the mainland is backed by an ever growing interdependency; yet our transactions on the mainland and across the Atlantic depend on communication channels deprived of collective visibility and usually require navigation around human and technology obstacles. Our community is often hugged by recycled hear-says and enormously effortful methods of information/intelligence gathering.
The individual wishing to broadcast a business, a sale, a service, a job offer, or a community issue lacks the right pulpit from which to make such an announcement in his/her own words directed to his/her community in their preferred style along with the assurance that an audience is listening.
Babahme was created precisely to provide this solution.
On the other hand, very few reference points are available which provide relevant information to those looking for service providers as well. Hence, Babahme is here to bring together these 2 groups.
