Care arrangements
Care that fits different needs
Not every situation calls for the same kind of arrangement. AfriCare supports three principal ways care is delivered, so you can choose what suits your circumstances.
Employee benefits
Better care for employees. More support for life beyond work.
Help employees manage the cost and responsibility of care, so they can focus on work without neglecting the people who depend on them.
Care that costs less
Give employees access to sponsored or subsidised care.
Support beyond the workplace
Help employees find trusted care for children, older relatives, pets and other dependants, even when work gets busy.
One benefit, more peace of mind
Make it easier for employees to find the care they need through one trusted platform, while showing your workforce that their well-being matters.

Relevant qualifications and documents are submitted for the services offered.
Verification process
Submitted information is reviewed through AfriCare's verification workflow.
