Strengthen neighbourhoods.
Fight loneliness.

Your neighborhood, right here.

Cuminanza connects neighbours, organisations, and communities in a trusted network — for more cohesion in the places we live.

Neighbourhoods are quieter than they should be
More people live alone. Fewer know who lives next door. The everyday small acts of mutual help are vanishing — and with them, a sense of belonging.
💭

Loneliness has become routine

Across age groups, a sizeable share of people say they regularly feel disconnected from those around them.

🤝

Help is hidden

People are willing to lend a hand — to carry groceries, walk a dog, listen for a moment — but there is no easy way to find each other.

🧩

Local groups work alone

Associations, parishes, aid organisations and municipalities all do important work, but rarely share a common channel with the people they serve.

Three pillars for strong neighbourhoods
Cuminanza is more than an app — it is infrastructure for mutual aid, trust, and community.
❤️

Help — simple and direct

Neighbours can offer or request help without fuss. From grocery runs to gardening, from tech support to childcare. All hyperlocal — within your own neighbourhood.

🛡️

Trust — verified neighbours

Two-step verification: phone via SMS code, address via a physical postcard from the admin. No password needed — simple and secure. A level of trust no other platform offers.

🌟

Heart — recognition through visibility

Every act of help makes your personal heart grow. No competition — just appreciation. Volunteer work finally becomes visible and recognised.

Everything for vibrant neighbourhoods
One platform connecting neighbours, local organisations, and admins.

Unified Feed

Everything at a glance — help requests, community news, association events, and local business offers with cascading filters.

Neighbourhood Marketplace

Share, give away, or swap items — with an "I want it!" button and direct chat.

Radius Search

Filter help requests, events, and offers by distance — only what's truly nearby.

Local Business Directory

All local businesses in one place — searchable, with contact details and a direct connection to the neighbourhood.

Community News

Official channel for municipalities — sent directly to all members.

Thread Replies

Discuss, offer help, and coordinate — all directly under each post, visible to everyone.

Voice Input Planned

Speak instead of type — accessible for all age groups, processed directly on the device.

Trust through genuine verification
Trust is the essential foundation for neighbourhood help to work. Cuminanza solves this with two levels of verification.
Phone verified

Login via SMS code

No password, no email needed. Simply enter your phone number, receive an SMS code, done. Especially easy for older users — they already know SMS.

Address verified

Postcard from the municipality

The municipality sends the new member a physical postcard with a verification code to their registered address. Only someone who actually lives there can redeem the code. No digital workaround possible.

Neighbours already help — Cuminanza makes it visible
Behind every neighbourhood is an enormous amount of invisible volunteer work. Cuminanza makes it visible, coordinates it, and strengthens it sustainably.

An enormous amount of help already happens — quietly

Neighbourhood help, care, mutual support — people contribute countless informal acts of volunteering every day. Yet it often remains invisible, uncoordinated, and unrewarded. Cuminanza gives this commitment the infrastructure it deserves.

Personal support — right in the app
Not everyone just needs an app. Some people need a real face. Cuminanza Helpers are people employed or volunteering for a municipality or organisation — actively reaching out to those who need support.
🛠 Social engagement as a profession

A job that builds community

Municipalities can specifically commission or employ people whose role it is to reach out to vulnerable or lonely neighbours — not digitally, but in person.

These Cuminanza Helpers are visible in the app by name, photo, and area of responsibility. Residents immediately see who is available nearby and how to get in touch.

Whether part-time employed, volunteering, or working within a social institution — the platform gives these people visibility and residents a sense of trust.

Cuminanza Helper

Proactively reaches out to people — visiting seniors, people living alone, or new arrivals in person. Visible in the app with a profile and contact details for all residents.

🔍

Help Coordinator

Monitors open help requests in the app and ensures no one is left without a response. Steps in when a request has gone too long unanswered — actively connecting people with support.

Why municipalities need Cuminanza
Cuminanza is not just an app for neighbours — it is a tool for everyone who builds and manages a community.
📣

Direct communication channel

Reach all members digitally — news, information, and calls to action straight to their phone.

Verification by postcard

As a municipality you send postcards with a verification code to new members. Only those who receive the card can activate their account — 100% secure, 100% local.

Achieve more together
Loneliness is a societal problem — no app can solve it alone. Cuminanza Helpers and help coordinators need time, training, and support. That is where partnerships make the difference.
🎯

Measurable impact

Every act of help, every connection, every engagement becomes visible. We believe social impact should be just as measurable as any other.

🏠

Independent project

Built by a small team, funded transparently. No advertising, no investor pressure to grow at any cost.

Built to share

What works in one community can work everywhere. Cuminanza is built to adapt — without starting from scratch every time.

Genuine partnership

We are not looking for sponsors — we are looking for people and organisations who see the same problem and want to work on it together.
