Our Story
Built From Real Experiences
The story behind Hamboi Mindcare
Hamboi started with a question. Why is it so hard to talk about how you feel? Abiodun built it because he wanted the friend he wished he had at 15. Fareeah joined because she believed in that question too and knew exactly how to make the answer feel real. Together they built Hamboi. Not an app. Not a helpline. A space that actually gets you.
“We built Hamboi because we needed it too.”
