Trust, verification & safety

Know who is providing care

We take seriously the question every family asks first: who is the person providing or arranging care? AfriCare structures provider onboarding and verification so that information is gathered and reviewed before a caregiver is listed.

Identity confirmation

Caregivers provide identification as part of registration.

Document submission

Relevant qualifications and documents are submitted for the services offered.

Verification process

Submitted information is reviewed through AfriCare's verification workflow.
