Closer to the community

Where knowledge
becomes useful.

Field stories give the work context: the people, the setting, and the questions that shape what comes next.

Public safety · Mombasa

Tested with
the people it serves.

SafeRide is a privacy-first safety app for women on public transport. We piloted it with Human Rights Agenda (HURIA) in Changamwe and Likoni, first with fictional scenarios and then with live reporting with HURIA present, and closed the pilot with a community demo day.

UNICEF selected SafeRide for the first cohort of its Femtech Ventures program.

Justice access · Kenya

Information can open
a different door.

Inside Kenya’s prisons, access to legal information takes on a particular urgency. Our field work explores how research tools, training, and paralegal support can help close that gap.

Recognition · Kenya Demo Day, 2025

A shared milestone.
More work ahead.

Esheria Ventures was recognized at the Llama Impact Accelerator Kenya Demo Day for its multilingual digital paralegal work.

The initiative includes offline-capable legal AI piloted with Human Rights Agenda in Kinango, Kwale, and the open models and datasets behind it are public. Recognition is one milestone in a longer process of learning with communities.
