Mapendo in one minute
How it works, who you will meet, and what makes this app different from the rest.
A meeting that starts with what matters
Here, faith is not a checkbox buried at the bottom of a profile. It is the starting point.
Faith first
Denomination, church, practice, intentions for marriage: what really matters shows on the profile, not on the third date.
Real people
ID document and selfie verified before full access. No fake profiles, no romance scams.
Built for the region
French, English and Kiswahili. From Kinshasa to Kampala, a light app that still works on 3G.
Your peace of mind comes first
A dating app is worth nothing if you do not feel safe on it. Here is what we put in place.
Mandatory identity verification
Every member confirms their identity with an official document and a selfie before they can chat.
Report and block in one gesture
Inappropriate behaviour? Two taps are enough to block the person and alert our team.
Your documents stay private
Your ID is used for verification only. It never appears on your profile and is never shared.
Four steps, fifteen minutes
The time it takes to drink a coffee, and your profile is live.
Interface illustrations, not real screenshots.
Free to start, Gold when you're ready
Profile, discovery, matches and messages with your matches: all free. Gold lifts the limits.
- Unlimited likes
- See who liked you before you like back
- Advanced filters: city, denomination, age, language
- Gold badge on your profile
- Your profile ranks higher in discovery
Paid per period, no automatic renewal. You choose whether to renew.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Your meetingstarts with a decision
The decision to show up, verified and honest. The rest follows.
