Guides to safer, more private reporting in Kenya.

Public-facing notes for riders, supporters, reviewers, and pilot partners who need SafeRide to feel private, practical, legal, and safe.

Privacy first

Start privately, review consent, and understand what stays on the phone before anything is shared.

Legal clarity

Plain-language notes can help riders understand options without turning the app into legal advice.

Route safety

Anonymous patterns can support safer transport only when private evidence and exact journeys stay protected.

Field note

Presenting SafeRide as a privacy-first transport safety workflow.

At the UNICEF Venture Fund meet, SafeRide was presented less as a campaign and more as a product question: how can a rider document harassment, understand support options, and still control what leaves their phone?

The conversation centred on the practical pieces that matter before scale: local drafts, consent review, redacted route signals, referral boundaries, and a route accountability model that does not turn survivor experience into public exposure.

How SafeRide keeps a report private until you choose a path

A rider can begin with a local draft, review what is recorded, and decide whether anything leaves the phone.

Inside this guide

  • Start a private report without waiting for internet access
  • Review exactly what would be shared before anything leaves the phone
  • Keep personal evidence separate from anonymous route information
  • Use retention and deletion controls as safety features
