About

Love, made intentional.

UPENDWA — from the Swahili for “to be loved” — is a dating platform for adults across Africa and beyond who want real connection.

Our mission

To help people meet others who share their values and intentions, in a space that feels safe, respectful and beautifully simple.

What we believe

Honesty about what you're looking for. Respect in every conversation. Safety as a default, not an extra.
