SafeVoice

Live

WhatsApp + Web

One WhatsApp message. That's all it takes to get help.

The Problem

Millions of women experience violence — in Nigeria, in the UK, everywhere. Almost none report it. Not because they don't want help — but because reporting means downloading an app, filling a 12-field form, or making a phone call while their abuser is in the next room. The systems designed to help them weren't designed for how they actually live.

How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Send a message

The survivor texts anything to SafeVoice on WhatsApp. Beacon picks it up — in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo. No forms. No menus. Just talk.

2

The team kicks in

Sentry classifies the type of violence and risk level. Compass finds the best NGO based on location and track record. Shield writes a personalised safety plan. All in seconds.

3

Help arrives

Bridge connects the survivor to a real caseworker. Anchor remembers them if they come back. Echo learns from every outcome to make the next response better.

Under The Hood

Technical architecture.

# What happens when a survivor sends a message

"My husband beat me. I left with my children. I'm in Lagos."

→ Beacon reads the message, detects Pidgin + English

→ Relay dispatches the team:

├─ Sentry → high urgency, physical violence, children involved

├─ Compass → 3 NGOs nearby, picks the one with fastest response history

└─ Shield → safety plan: safe locations, emergency numbers, next steps

→ Bridge assigns a caseworker

→ Anchor stores the context (anonymised)

→ Echo logs the outcome for future improvement

Total time: ~4 seconds

Why This Matters

Pioneering in Africa.

WhatsApp-native by design, not as an afterthought. We build where people already are — not where we wish they'd go.

Beacon understands context — not just language translation, but cultural nuance. In Nigeria, 'E don beat me again o' triggers the same urgency as 'My husband hit me' in the UK. Same system, adapted to local reality.

Compass matches survivors to NGOs based on data, not luck. Which ones respond fastest? Which ones actually resolve cases? That's who gets the referral.

Echo closes the loop. Every resolved case makes the next response better. The system learns what works — and what doesn't.

Anchor detects patterns. If reports spike in a specific area, the system flags it — enabling proactive intervention, not just reactive response.
