About Tendawell
Helping families care for loved ones in Nigeria, wherever they live
Tendawell was started by Nigerians in the diaspora who know how hard it is to arrange good care for a parent from thousands of miles away.
Our mission
To make it simpler and safer for families to find, arrange and keep an eye on care for their relatives in Nigeria, with honest information and a real person to talk to.
What we do
- Keep a directory of care providers across Nigeria, compiled from public information and clearly labelled.
- Help families understand their options, through guides and by replying personally to every request.
- Introduce families to suitable local providers, starting in Lagos and Enugu on 23 November 2026, then Abuja (FCT) and Oyo.
- Match carers and nurses who are looking for work with care providers that are hiring.
How we make money
Consultation is always free. You pay a one-off ₦20,000 only once care starts.
Searching our directory and getting advice costs nothing. If we match a family with a provider and care actually starts, the family pays Tendawell a one-off fee of ₦20,000. We'll send payment details once care has started, and there is no fee if there's no match or care doesn't start. If care ends within the first 7 days, we refund the ₦20,000 in full. Partner providers pay us a one-off referral fee of 10% of the client's first month of care, and only after care has actually started. We don't charge carers to register for jobs, and nobody can pay us for reviews.
Because partners pay us, we label them clearly with the Tendawell Partner badge and explain how results are ordered.
What we are not
- We are not a care provider and we do not employ carers or nurses.
- We are not a regulator. A listing is not proof that a provider is registered or licensed.
- We are not an emergency service. In an emergency in Nigeria call 112.
Our promises to families
- We'll always say whether we have checked a provider.
- We'll never publish fake reviews, ratings, awards or statistics.
- We'll never pressure you to choose a particular provider, and our fee is the same whichever provider you choose.
- We'll never charge you unless we've matched you and care has actually started.
- We'll handle your information carefully. See our privacy policy.
