Redefining Family Care

Care That Empowers
Every Family

In life, everything we do is about serving one another. With a global ageing population and a shortage of caregivers in many countries, families are going to play a massive role in addressing some of the challenges this will entail. We believe that every one of us has the potential to be a family carer.

Our companies are a reflection of how we envisage the future of care. We are creating game-changing businesses that will empower families, transform lives and ease pressure on our already stretched healthcare systems.

Services

Care training,
reimagined

AI-Powered Basic Care Training — learning by using AI-powered virtual characters. We recreate realistic situations and conversations caregivers face at home. These scenarios build deeper empathy, emotional resilience, and confidence — skills that traditional training can't fully replicate.

Assess

Understand the learner's care situation, confidence level, and immediate caregiving needs through a guided virtual intake.

Learn

Engage with interactive, scenario-based modules led by virtual characters that respond to your pace and progress.

Practice

Simulate real caregiving scenarios in a safe, pressure-free environment before applying skills in real life.

Grow

Track progress, earn recognition, and access ongoing support — building confidence over time with evolving challenges.

Care Agent — Here Every Step of the Way

When the time comes for a loved one to move into a care or nursing home, our Care Agents are here to guide and support you — from understanding your options to finding the right place. We'll accompany you to viewings, helping you ask the right questions and make sure you feel confident.

Community Lounge — Connect. Share. Support.

A safe, supportive space for cared-for individuals and their families to come together. Connect with others who truly understand your experiences, share your stories, offer encouragement, and build lasting relationships.

The People Behind It

Meet our founders

Built from lived experience. Driven by a genuine calling to transform the way the world cares.

Tariro Kanyemba

CEO & Co-founder

On the back of 15 years' experience in the care industry, Tariro and his wife founded Shumira Healthcare with a desire to see change in how individuals are cared for — both in their homes and in care homes. It was while caring for people in their homes and supporting their families that he saw a great need for quality care training, and felt called to help the many families that find themselves in these difficult situations.

Esther Kanyemba

Co-founder

Esther began her career in care at 16, going on to train as a Registered Nurse and progressing into the role of Sister. Working as a Community Nurse for the NHS, she came to realise the great need for change in how people are cared for in the community — and how families without support often struggle to provide for their loved ones. This experience ignited a desire to see better quality training for both families and professional carers.
