Wisp - linking families with community based help.
Wisp was born out of the frustration of finding trustworthy help on the one hand and other the other seeing many people with talents and skills not knowing how to use these skills to help other people and earn some money.
Our marketplace was founded in 2024 with the mission of unlocking the power within communities to help each other and thrive.
