The problem we refuse
A house help in Kilimani should not begin as a forwarded WhatsApp number.
CARENA CONNECT is where the connection is the product — verified profiles, in-app chat, and support after the hire. The mobile app is where the work happens. This site is the public face.

Four beats
How a connection actually works
01
Find
Search by neighbourhood and craft — a Westlands cleaner, a South B driver — not a forwarded stranger.
02
Connect
Pay a connection fee. Chat opens inside CARENA. Private phones stay private.
03
Work
Interview, agree terms, confirm the hire. Both sides keep a record on the platform.
04
Stay
If the arrangement fails, report it and find a replacement without starting from WhatsApp again.
Trust, not theatre
Verified is a status. Character still shows up at work.
Workers upload ID and request review before they appear in search. Families unlock chat with a connection fee. Reports and replacements stay on the platform — so the next hire is not another group chat.
“His phone number stays off the page — that is the point.”
CARENA principle
Nairobi first
