Our story

Built by parents,
for parents.

We started Kina because, like you, we're in it every day, raising little humans, juggling school payments, groceries, activities, and everything in between.

We’re parents, and we built Kina to support the teachers who help shape our children’s lives. With Kina, every contribution goes further, teachers earn more, and appreciation feels more meaningful for everyone.

We built this for our family. Now it's here for yours.

With love,

Ennie & Benny
