The Problem
Women in Nairobi face daily safety risks navigating informal settlements and poorly lit streets. No publicly available tool aggregates community-reported safety data in real time.
The Solution
A React Native app with a Leaflet.js map that plots user-reported incidents, overlays verified safe walking routes, and sends push alerts when a friend is late reaching their destination.
Target Users & Impact
Women commuters in Nairobi, community safety groups, local government
