Real markets, real food, real families
Every package is packed by a vetted market in your family's own neighborhood. They collect it from a vendor they already know, with a pickup code instead of cash.
Explore packagesCash remittance leaks. Food doesn't.
Money sent home gets eaten by fees, weak exchange rates and the temptation to spend it on anything but the family. 8Mealz locks your gift to what matters: food on the table, every week.
- Fees drain the gift:
- Traditional transfers lose a chunk to fees and spreads before a single meal is bought.
- Cash goes astray:
- Once it lands, cash can be spent on things that were never the plan.
- Prices bite:
- Local inflation means the same money buys less food every month.

Why we built this
I grew up in Cabo Verde. I know what it means when the money from abroad arrives late, or arrives and disappears. Every family here has that story.
8Mealz exists so the food gets there, every time. You pay once, your family picks up at a market they already trust, and you get a notification the moment they collect. That is the whole product.
Join the pilot
We're opening in Cabo Verde first, starting with Praia. Reserve your spot and we'll reach out on WhatsApp to confirm your first order.
- Free annual membership for founding senders
- Priority pickup at partner markets
- A direct line to our team on WhatsApp
