We want to make it easier and more intuitive to access support and assistance, ultimately freeing up time — time in the sense of an essential resource for accessing many important prerequisites that enable a self-determined life. These prerequisites include personal and professional development, career prospects and – associated with this – income prospects, which in turn enable financial security for greater autonomy and freedom of action.
In particular, people who currently experience unequal conditions due to structures should be able to organize their time, work, and life models more freely.
Our approach is guided by four principles.
Helferei was born out of the personal experience of its founder, Eugenia: when she experienced psychological abuse, she was fortunate enough to be financially secure and able to support herself. She also had access to reliable support structures and knowledge.
In this situation, she became acutely aware of how crucial it is to have different means at one's disposal in order to act autonomously. It also gave her cause to think more broadly about who is so often disadvantaged in such situations and how structural solutions could be found and female autonomy strengthened.
Helferei is the entrepreneurial response to this: a transparent, community-based platform for everyday support and equal economic participation, where relief for one side does not come at the expense of the other.
From Eugenia's point of view, entrepreneurship is the most consistent way for women in particular to work on structural issues, talk about them without influence, and combine structural impact with economic sustainability. Apart from the fact that she loves this way of working in general: she enjoys building many things from scratch and taking 100% responsibility for them, both professionally and privately.
