Usalama, Kenya
With crime rates still high in many parts of Kenya, especially in the capital city Nairobi, a quick solution is needed to guarantee Kenyans and visitors their safety. This is what motivated Edwin Ingaji, a Kenyan university student, to develop Usalama, a mobile app that enables users to send emergency alerts to law enforcers whenever they are in danger. A person only needs to shake the phone three times to open the app and then hold down the volume button to send the alert.
