AfyaShosh Care that our elders deserve

AfyaShosh is a multi-platform eldercare ecosystem built for Kenya and Africa. We combine low-tech tools like SMS/USSD for elders with a caregiver mobile app, a doctor portal, and a family dashboard. At its core, the platform uses geolocation for logistics and emergency response, ensuring elders in both rural and urban areas receive timely, dignified care.

The opportunity is massive: Africa’s aging population is growing, yet families struggle to coordinate care remotely, especially across rural–urban divides. By blending culturally-rooted, accessible technology with existing caregiver and health systems, AfyaShosh bridges this gap. Our model is scalable, subscription-based, and taps into a growing market of families seeking reliable eldercare. With partnerships across pharmacies, clinics, and insurers, AfyaShosh has the potential to become the go-to eldercare infrastructure for Africa.
