Partners

Partner with us: GBV organizations, matatu operators, funders.

SafeRide is ready for serious review. The next step is safeguarding, privacy, legal, transport, infrastructure, and evaluation work with organizations that understand Kenya.

Brief

Operational partnerships, not extractive pilots.

We need partners who can test language, referral boundaries, route data methods, escalation workflows, and first-party API design without asking survivors to carry platform risk.

Supporting detail

Where partners make the difference.

Support orgs

Referral language needs expert review.

Crisis copy, 1195 guidance, PEP/EC content, P3 explanations, and referral briefs should be reviewed by qualified Kenyan support and legal-aid partners.

Transport

Operators need action routines, not dashboards alone.

Redacted route signals should connect to route changes, training, escalation handling, and follow-up accountability.

Engineering

Backend hardening is safeguarding work.

Authentication, retention, encrypted evidence handling, access controls, moderation, and observability need partner-level scrutiny before scale.

Current ecosystem

UNICEF plus Kenya-rooted partner references.

The carousel keeps the visible set practical: funder/support signal, survivor support, legal aid, justice access, and community delivery.

Support organizations

Review crisis language, 1195 guidance, PEP/EC content, P3 explanations, referral briefs, and boundaries around legal and psychosocial support.

Transport operators

Validate whether redacted route signals, escalation packets, and follow-up timelines can create safer operational routines.

Engineering partners

Help move from the Supabase prototype to an owned API with authentication, moderation, retention, encrypted evidence, observability, and RLS-equivalent access controls.

Partnership criteria

  1. 1No partner receives raw survivor evidence or exact journeys without explicit user choice and safeguarding approval.
  2. 2Every pilot must define referral escalation boundaries, data retention, deletion, and incident response before launch.
  3. 3Transport partners must commit to action loops, not just dashboards.
  4. 4Technical partners must preserve offline-first behaviour while reducing backend and secret-management risk.
