About CareKin

Carer and patient, together.

CareKin is a care marketplace and safety layer for people living with sickle cell in Nigeria, their families near and far, and the caregivers who support them.

Why we exist

A crisis shouldn't be faced alone

Sickle cell crises are sudden and painful. In those moments, families lose time finding the right hospital, explaining a medical history from memory, or reaching the people who need to know. CareKin puts all of that behind one button.

  • One press alerts family, guardians and the caregiver on shift
  • A health passport that travels with the patient
  • Vetted caregivers for help at home

What we stand for

The values behind every feature.

  • Safety first

    A crisis should never wait on a password or a code. Help comes first, paperwork later.

  • Trust is earned

    Every caregiver is checked by a person before they can take a booking, and every payment waits in escrow.

  • Your data is yours

    Health details are encrypted and shared only when you say so, for as long as you say.

  • Honest about limits

    CareKin connects you to people and places. It never gives medical advice or replaces emergency care.
